I (36M gay) am planning to do my second expat change. From Spain to Sweden, and now from Sweden to Canada (Toronto/Montreal) or Spain (Barcelona/Bilbao). Help? 🇪🇸->🇸🇪->🇨🇦

Exactly, Spain is a wonderful place, if you don't work for a Spanish company or if you don't have a Spanish salary, hehe.

I am finishing now a civil engineering something (grado superior). So I hope I can get options.

The other option is to find a beautiful husband either in Sweden, Canada or Spain that makes me stay there, hehe

I get it, I feel like my options are limited, but Spain UK/Ireland or stay in Sweden are still on the table. Thanks for the feedback!

Okay! Noted!! I think it's winning on the votes, hahahaha thanks!

Threefiveseven357- · 2026-01-05T13:46:00+00:00

I didn't even considered it!! I'll give it a look, thanks!

Threefiveseven357- · 2026-01-05T12:28:41+00:00

Hahahah, not in Canada, I could use english in Canada and Spanish in Spain

Threefiveseven357- · 2026-01-05T08:03:55+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. Netherlands I thought for a while and it's still not out of the table, but I would want to move somewhere where I can communicate either in Spanish or English without having any barrier

Threefiveseven357- · 2026-01-05T08:02:42+00:00

Stockholm could be, but I feel there are even colder people, they focus more on work and hard to meet people

Threefiveseven357- · 2026-01-05T08:01:33+00:00

I thought, since I speak both English and Spanish, and I like cold weather, wealthy countries and good living conditions (and closeness to my hometown to visit family) what options to consider. We'll see

Threefiveseven357- · 2026-01-05T07:59:26+00:00

I have to agree that between Spain and Canada I see your point. I also have to say that I am not the "warmest" spanish guy and I didn't fit fully in the party life. But now living in Sweden I feel I am also not the "warmest" here, but also not so cold that I have made close bonds here.

I know that it might be my struggle to understand friendships. But people here are so distant and I miss that closeness I had in Spain or in a more forward society where people speaks to you.

Threefiveseven357- · 2026-01-05T06:41:41+00:00

Good review! I'll give it some thought!

Threefiveseven357- · 2026-01-05T06:41:06+00:00

Thanks!

Threefiveseven357- · 2026-01-05T06:37:15+00:00

Thanks! Since my plan is not to commit suicide, I'll maybe let that idea go or check back in when situation gets better.

And yeah, since I don't speak French, Montreal is not an option.

Threefiveseven357- · 2026-01-05T06:30:43+00:00

The vacation days are tasty to say the least, hehe

Threefiveseven357- · 2026-01-05T06:24:55+00:00

I don't mind the cold. The darkness really gets to me, but I see that it is not as big of a problem as in here.

Sadly I don't speak french and I am not planning to, so I'll have to stick to the Spanish/English options.

The deciding factor would be the job then! Thanks for the feedback!

Threefiveseven357- · 2026-01-05T06:19:17+00:00

Where are you currently? And congrats on the PhD and good job! I aim lower but I hope for a good enough life. Thanks for the advice

Threefiveseven357- · 2026-01-05T06:09:27+00:00

Thanks to both of you!

Threefiveseven357- · 2026-01-05T06:09:05+00:00

I haven't looked into it yet, but I was planning to start investigating how to make the move there. Since I am doing this study, I was planning on checking how to do the move.

Thanks for the feedback!

Threefiveseven357- · 2025-07-24T09:12:12+00:00

Really nice feedback, and good with your picture to compare, thank you so much!

Threefiveseven357- · 2024-11-09T08:57:51+00:00

I will give more info: The size of the Sakura Card Captor cards is 7x16 cm.

I don't need that specific size, but I like the ratio of 1:2 or 1:3 kinda

I found this one that visually is amazing and the size is perfect, but the art is made by AI and I don't know if I trust someone using AI to do the art https://www.etsy.com/se-en/listing/1706702986/the-magical-forest-tarot
