HOW TO LIVE OFF $1000/MONTH IN SPAIN (Auxiliar de Conversacion)

How come you didn’t have to spend money on student loans? This is the biggest expense I’m afraid will set me back. (I’m still in school currently) Also, did you have a gym membership? If so, how much was it?

Very interesting. Great video!!

Thanks for all your videos. Planning on applying for the auxiliar program in Madrid for 2021-2022. Do you think if I come with a few grand in savings and make money outside of the program I could live comfortably in a 1 bedroom around €500-€600? I know Madrid pays €1000 a month.

Great video... I am a Dental Hygienist from the states...looking to work abroad....possibly Spain. Can you recommend any agencies that help with job placement process? From what i have read there are a lot of scammers that claim job placement.

I’m planning on doing the auxiliar program in 2 years. But I’m a suuuuper big introvert and I would prefer to live in Madrid and have no roommates, but I know this is going to be expensive. If I did have roommates, I would prefer them not to expect me to hang out with them that often and leave me to stay in my room/explore around by myself, haha 😅

Hello Natasha,

Thank you very much for this extensive video - I learned a lot. I do only know Spain as a tourist;
Spanish was not offered during the time I went to school - instead, I suffered from Latin (mandatory) and learned French and Italian. Spaniards are very friendly people but as I hardly understood anything, the country wasn´t that interesting for me.
Spain isn´t quite a neighbour of Austria and (at least back then), Spanish was not taught everywhere and a few years later on, when I studied chemistry, I lacked the mental ressources to learn different skills. Besides, I neither knew that I wanted to leave my country at that time nor where I wanted to go and which language I needed.
I only know Benidorm as a major hub for mass tourism with lots of
medium-sized skyscrapers along the coast. Spain is the ideal location to learn Spanish in a very secure environment before even thinking of places like Colombia, especially when you are located in Central Europe. Both Spain and Austria are EU-members and it´s near enough to visit short-term. I don´t think there is a chance to get a job if you don´t speak Spanish.
In Europe, studying is not a financial threat like in the US. Fees are marginal. After graduating, I was exhausted and did some different work. I was just recently accepted at technical college (for a second master in Biotech), when Co*** hit just before important group assignings could take place. I´m also stuck at home and have become something like a „rogue senior student“. I tend to write (too) much, as this is my way of processing issues.
I will need a good preparation for not ending up in Ciudad Bolivar or as
an ELN-hostage

With kind regards,

Mathias

This was great! For your phone, did your phone work well when traveling to different countries w your Spanish phone plan?

I would love to talk with you about the application process! I am trying to apply for the fall 2021 year and it would be amazing if you could help me navigate through the process because it's so daunting tbh!! anyways much love!! -erin

loved this video!! i'm currently an aux now getting ready to go into my 2nd year. so many of your experiences i can relate to. lmao at going to mercadona is like going on a field trip bc honestly 😭 esp bc i'm living in a smaller town rn and all of the cheeses. rn now i'm hooked on quesos de cabra. but yes living in spain and the european lifestyle is truly a humbling and exciting experience! this coming year i'll be living in grananda and i am a bit worried bc i know it's gonna be more of a financial stretch but i know i can make it work. esp with private classes. also you're super pretty!!

Hi!! Moving to Madrid to teach English. Could you make a video more about Madrid and that experience (especially geared around money and what that was like) and even just life there. love your videos!!

I’m having my interview in a few hours but I’m debating whether it is worth paying the initial fee.

How long were you living in Spain for?

Would your 2 roommates work the same job as you? Is there a way to apply for housing with other coworkers that way you know more people who are doing the same thing as you?

do you need to be a uni student or have studied in uni to be able to be an auxiliar?

Hey! Great video!! I am considering applying for this program for the fall and I wondering if you know if the visa you get allows you to have a second job (not related to teaching)?

Hey girl! Thank you for sharing your experiences with us :) I am applying for fall 2021 and wanted your advice on the different regions and what you recommend!

Hi!! Love your video...want to ask that did you split your groceries spendings and products with your roommates or everybody bought their own??

Hi, what would be considered a lot of savings to move to spain? (To live normally, saving wherever possible)

I’m looking to apply for this program in the next year so I was wondering if I should try and learn as much Spanish as possible before then or do you think it would be easy to stay there only knowing English?

Have you ever come across a non native English teacher in Spain do Spanish recruit non native English speaker.

This is my dream!!!! I’m finally ignoring everyone who tells me not to do it and TRUSTING MY GUT!! 💘💘💘💘 ahhhhhhhhhh

Hey, I'm moving to Andalucía in Oct for nalcap. Believe it or not, even before the applications opened, I was watching your videos for advice. I was very determined to go ahaha. Thank you for these vids!!

This was an amazing video! 😊 Are you a teacher in the U.S. too?

You are not reading this by chance, you are deeply loved by God, He wants to bring you peace and healing, He doesn’t want you to perish but to have eternal life, through believing in His son Jesus Christ that He sent to die for your sins on the cross and to repent❤️❤️

Hi, thanks for the tips! I was wondering, can you choose your city or region if you get accepted into the program?

this is my dream! i want to start in 2023, but do i need to have a bachelors degree to apply for the program?
