#128 We Moved to Spain! The Journey From Georgia to Malaga


Listen Later

We did it — we actually moved to Spain! 🇪🇸

In this episode, Chris and I sit down over a couple glasses of tinto de verano to spill all the details about our big move from Tbilisi, Georgia to Málaga. From the bittersweet goodbyes to the chaos of moving internationally with a toddler and a cat, we’re giving you the raw, unfiltered version of what this transition really looked like.

We cover:
✔️ Finalizing Mordie’s pet paperwork and the surprisingly smooth (but stressful!) process of flying with him
✔️ The movers arriving to pack up our entire life — and what it felt like to live out of suitcases for days afterward
✔️ Saying goodbye to our nanny, friends, and the apartment we called home for 5 years
✔️ The flight from Tbilisi to Málaga — toddler meltdowns, Turkish Airlines pet drama, and how we survived it all
✔️ What it felt like to finally land in Spain after months of planning, prep, and stress

If you’ve ever wondered what the actual journey of moving abroad looks like — from the last-minute logistics to the emotional rollercoaster — this one’s for you.
