Top 5 Reasons Why We Moved To Madrid!

#madrid #spain #expat
Before moving abroad it was my experience that when people from The United States talk about vacationing or temporarily living in Europe, usually cites like London, Paris, or Rome come to mind. And if you think of Spain, normally Barcelona is what Americans usually consider. I was introduced to Madrid through work. I immediately fell in love with the city. My wife and I both are very much happy in Madrid. In this video you'll find the top 5 reasons why we decided to move to Madrid and make it our home.
Be sure to check out my video trailer to get more aquatinted with me:

It's nice that you compare Madrid and New York City. But from the videos I've watched from both cities, Madrid looks like paradise and New York looks like hell. I would never dream of moving New York City, in the contrary in a heart beat I would move to Madrid having the chance, since it looks welcoming, clean, cultural and safe.

[@JeremyWhistine]

Thank You Robert. Yes Madrid is a great city, I’m very happy here. I’ll always love NYC though. A perfect world would be I could live in both in different parts of the year. Maybe in 10-15 years or so.

[@btone03]

You LITERALLY said the key mantra that resonates with me when it comes to quality of live. “Work to live, not live to work!” I am definitely thinking about moving to Madrid now. 🙌🏽

[@joeferdez1584]

Welcome, my guys Greetings from Madrid 🇪🇸

[@justinwr092]

I'm going to text this video to my wife every single day until she agrees to move to Madrid.

[@JeremyWhistine]

Lol the best of luck. If you can convince her I’m sure she’ll thank you! It’s a great city!!!

[@justinwr092]

[@lizcoleman5229]

I'm originally from Madrid and moved to New York with my husband who is from NYC. We lived in NY for 27 years and retired early 6 months ago and moved back to Madrid. We couldn't be happier and wouldn't have retired anywhere else. I also love NYC, however Madrid is much safer and in my opinion the infrastructure is more modern. I'm glad that you and your wife are happy here.

[@JeremyWhistine]

Thank you very much for your kind words. We are very happy here

[@lons5472]

Nice to hear that, also was looking at the EU for retirement living once I sell my home and my pension raises up to a nice level of income.

[@handdeeabroad]

Glad to find your channel. Spain is high on our list to move in 2024.

[@JeremyWhistine]

I hope you make it. Send me a message when you come

Thank you for your video about our city, Jeremy. I hope you and your wife enjoy Madrid for good😊

[@InstantLuc]

The difference in rent between NYC and Madrid is so intense it makes me head hurt lmao

[@SC-tn5id]

WoW definitely following you my brother. I have lived in nyc for 10 years now and served in the navy for a few years prior to moving here. Hearing you as a black man myself speak so highly of Madrid is really awesome. ✊🏽✊🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@JeremyWhistine]

My friend sorry for the delayed response. Thank you very much for the encouraging words. You should certainly come for a visit here

[@Elizabeth.mungai]

Such an insightful video, exactly what I was looking for..Thank you, your quality of life in Madrid looks beautiful

[@JeremyWhistine]

Thank you very much! I’m working on the next video!

[@user-hn8pc7mg8f]

Wishing you both the very best of luck!!! I ❤️ Madrid and have lived there for a number of years. The rest of Spain is also beautiful, so very varied.

[@JeremyWhistine]

Thank you. Do you live in Madrid now?

[@mickmac2223]

Thanks for your video Jeremy!!

[@JeremyWhistine]

Thank you! I hope you enjoyed it.

[@elle_cobra]

Great video! I would love if you made a video comparing NYC to Madrid. My Spanish husband and I are planning to move to Spain (likely Madrid) in the next few years, so hearing an American's perspective, especially as someone who used to live in NYC, would be great. Though I have visited Madrid, it seems to me that the everyday lifestyle would be similar to mine in Brooklyn with some additional perks.

[@JoseLopez-zd9sk]

Nice Video, NYC where the rent is insane to Madrid where its reasonable. Blessings 🙌

[@JeremyWhistine]

Thank you for watching!

[@gabrielacauduro]

Jeremy me encanta este video! Es muy bueno, interesante, lleno de verdad. Me conmueve. Si me lo permites me gustaría compartirlo en mi Facebook. Felicidades!

[@talk.bunkus]

inspiring!

[@robgilbert3395]

I was there two weeks ago and just loved it. Culture, affordability, the people. Did you find the winters difficult? My wife lived there for six months back in the 90s and found the winters cold and wet...

[@JeremyWhistine]

Hi! Thank you for your interest in the video. I didn’t find the winter of 2021-22 difficult. Although I’d lived in Mexico for several years, I still had NYC toughness in me 😆 Madrid winters certainly aren’t as cold as New York.

[@ljli]

Hey Jeremy! Welcome to Madrid! I'm also from NYC and live here part time.

[@JeremyWhistine]

Thank you!! We should meet for coffee sometime when you’re in madrid

Great Video Jeremy!! New subscriber here. Definitely looks like a healthier way of living than Big Cities in the States.

[@JeremyWhistine]

Samuel, thank you so much for your comment and subscribing! I feel much happier for sure. I've been busy, I'll get you guys some good content very soon on life in Europe.

[@carlosdelarosa7339]

I loved this video!. I had missed the first part and landed on the part where you said you were not a typical couple. I was completely puzzled and wondering if you had married someone from outer space or something. Then I realized what you were talking about. I am sorry you felt you had to make that distinction. I am not quite sure how or why things work the way they do in your country but please don't think you are not a typical couple, you are two beautiful human beings, just like anyone else. So you are as typical as two human beings that love each other and decide spend part of your lifes together. And you have bonus points for marrying a chilanga ;-). Full disclosure: I am a chilango myself 🙂 Cheers!

[@JeremyWhistine]

Thank you so much for your comments. I really appreciate your kind words 🙏🏾

Great comparison! We're Americans who lived in Spain for a year teaching English, but struggled to find a long-term way to live there. Now, we're living in Germany, but would absolutely LOVE to get back to Spain. What visa did you use to live in Spain if you don't mind sharing?

[@gaetanomaximus8650]

How about summers with 90+ degrees but no AC? Or is there a way to get AC?

I live in montreal and want to move to madrid . Many jobs for trilingual people . French english and spanish?

[@rickharly2179]

Thanks for the video. I live with my family in Valencia. Currently we’ve been living here for four years now and we have three kids two years old six years old and eight years old and after four years living here we feel that it’s a small city our even call it a town probably Has the seat but we don’t use it that much. Nobody does here and just this small town mentality and basically there’s nothing to do so we were thinking about moving to Madrid and I can relate to you guys so it would be awesome to hear your opinion about living in Madrid with kids from the perspective of parents, so where do you take them? How do you entertain them, just you know the overall like are you if you’re an active family like us then where do you guys go with kids and so on so forth so if you can share that they’ll be amazing thanks

[@foyorama]

In Spain the police treat you with respect, they wont stop you just because you are black or any other race for that matter. The food is great and the night life in Spain in second to none. Enjoy Spain !!

Is it easy to find work in Madrid as a TEFL teacher?

[@JeremyWhistine]

I’d say yes, but you have to work hard in order to find a scenario in which you can earn enough to make a living wage in my opinion.

[@hectorhyat2669]

And whereabout is that great gym where you teach

[@JeremyWhistine]

Two locations in Madrid

Another youtuber who's not able to keep the damn music volume at the same level as his voice. Just unwatchable

[@JeremyWhistine]

I’m not sure what your complaint is, do you want more music or more voice because I can hear my voice fine, and if you want the music louder I’m sorry. I have lots of views and plenty of likes and you seem to be the only person to have a problem with the music and voice balance. Perhaps in my first video when I was getting started, that is a viable complaint but this video that you commented on was edited professionally. And if it was unwatchable, I apologize I hope you can find a video that is watchable.
