Why We Built This
In 2022 we packed up our life in Copenhagen and moved our family of four to Barcelona. Two kids in Catalan public school. A new apartment in Gracia. The whole adventure. We spent months researching, made expensive mistakes, and learned things the hard way. This site exists so you do not have to figure it all out alone.
