The pandemic put things into perspective for me. I realized that I did not want to return to the U.S. for several reasons.

Being able to walk to grocery stores every day and not have to drive a car is strange in the U.S., especially if one lives in the suburbs, as it is a 45-minute drive into the city. But this is purposeful in Spain, as it allows the population to always interact with one another.

Having traveled to countries like Costa Rica prior to this, I had known that tropical countries existed.Though I did consider living in Florida to combat these winter blues, I knew that America was an expensive country. Unless I was earning over a specific amount, I felt that I would not be able to enjoy it.

Of course, this is hugely different to life in the U.S., where even if I had good health coverage, if I had to take an ambulance due to an emergency, I may have to owe hundreds, if not thousands of dollars for an ambulance ride, let alone the treatment. In Spain, this is completely different, as one would pay a small amount in taxes, called social security, which covers health insurance. From emergency surgery, to having a child, or even needing emergency medication, social security covers it all.
