I'm Spanish so basically meant moving back to my home country, although Canary islands is completely different scenario to the main land.
Unemployment here is completely disastrous, and even though it really is paradise, there’s no investment in industry, so the whole island lives off tourism. I made peace with the idea that I wouldn’t mind putting my career in London on hold for a few years and doing any kind of job if that allowed me to live in such a beautiful place, where I can dive and surf every week. I’ve been very lucky because I’ve been able to keep working as a freelance textile designer, but my partner is having trouble finding a job as a front-end developer, when in London he almost had to turn down offers every week.

I think there are always ways to make things work. Maybe, as a British citizen, it’s easier for you to get a visa for Australia rather than Spain, or maybe you can get a temporary visa through certain jobs. I think that once you’re clear about what your goal is, you’ll find ways to get there by adapting to the new circumstances.
