hmmmm.... do they even give a reason?
or just - GTFO.
well what about you doing the whole... like... ok- then Pura can live there -(and you too obviously) but you juts have to take a plane ride to Spain for a day with her every 6 months - to renew your visa?
would that work??
and - this whole time you've been traveliving (and i love that word hehe) was it for adventure - or with the hopes that you would actually find the place you wanted to stay?
or both
and... how do you choose the next place you can go? (so many more questions hehehe but... i shall leave them there)
I thought you'd never ask = } Real short response ahead:
Reason—not exactly. England word salads the shit out of everything. Something basic like the red light at a traffic signal they won't call a red light, they'll go into this crazy word salad: Before green and sharply after amber and after green as well in preparation for amber again rather than just say red. Immigration offices are understaffed temporarily or indefinitely or at the moment or until further notice (see what I mean?) due to the recent influx in asylum seekers.
With the exception of EU and their Shenzhen countries with 90 day stays in a 180 day period, border hopping would work. We've done plenty of that in the past. We've been warned, however, against attempting it in England post-Brexit. If they believe I'm abusing entry authority without paying the fees and applying for Frequent Traveler Pass they're currently understaffed to verify they could revoke my entry indefinitely. Hard to believe, right? D-words. This is how they treat the spouse of their own National Citizen who suffers from a chronic illness. Nah.. not bitter at all.
Traveliving—adventure, excitement, all of the above and seeing places we always wanted to see, absolutely. And pre-covid it was actually substantially less expensive to live like this. But we both have/had high expectations the entire time during our travels we'd fall in love with somewhere and call it home. Somewhere would actually stop us in our tracks because we'd rather stay there permanently than travelive. Still searching....
How. The only stipulation to 'how' is we don't pick it more than 30 days in advance. We're kinda on a pause right now and signed a short lease in England to get Pura all dialed but we're off again in October like I said. But as of now we have no idea where November, December, etc is. So we won't pick November until we're settled in Spain, won't pick December until we're settled wherever in November and so on.
Less time to plan decreases the chance of disappointment. So a couple factors come into play; want, beachy/not, historic/modern, touristy/isolated, culture like not disrespectful to women, a couple basics like that. Once we have an idea we kinda try to keep it close distance wise—2-3 hour plane ride. A couple affordability checks on Air B&B and then weigh out our options like "Istanbul!"
Thanks Dreem.
