September Wrap-Up

Ammi Embry — Sat, 30 Sep 2023 12:29:09 +0000

I've been meaning to write up a post and share photos from the last of our birthday exploration and the rest of our month for weeks. Our first weeks back to work were crazy busy and we've been working on a big decision, so finding the time just didn't happen. What big decision you might […]

We are Legal Residents of Croatia!!

Ammi Embry — Thu, 24 Aug 2023 19:00:08 +0000

As we mentioned in our last update, I (Ammi) was approved for residency August 4th. We went to MUP August 17 for my fingerprints and the last of my paperwork. I had my permit in-hand August 24th. Daniel was approved August 24th. We hope to have his paperwork at MUP done by the end of […]

June Update

Ammi Embry — Sat, 10 Jun 2023 14:12:45 +0000

I'm shocked it's already June. This summer is passing quickly. Daniel and I are working on a new side project with a tight deadline on top of our regular work. At work we're both on deadlines too. Our days consist of sleeping late, walking the dogs, working second shift hours for our American time zones […]

May Life Update

Ammi Embry — Sat, 13 May 2023 17:32:41 +0000

I realized we hadn’t written here in a while to catch everyone up on our lives. We spend our weekdays walking the neighborhood, trying new foods, and working. Our weekends are filled with exploring further Split destinations, garden upkeep, board games, video calls to friends back home, and tourist watching. Daniel takes at least one […]

Moving to the EU. Spain?

Ammi Embry — Fri, 02 Sep 2022 11:00:27 +0000

Things change. After the last several years we know that better than most. We’ve been planning a move to Spain for several years. Our original plan won’t work because of Visa issues and misunderstanding on our end. This was going to set us back around a year. It was a pretty devastating blow. But as […]

2022, The First Half

Ammi Embry — Fri, 24 Jun 2022 11:00:56 +0000

It's been a difficult six months around here. Let's focus on the positive right now. Daniel started sharing his monthly playlist. I think the playlists are absolutely great, and I love that he's sharing them with the world. I (Ammi) have nearly finished a blog series on my health and my health recommendation. It's something […]

Moving Overseas | Why Valencia

Ammi Embry — Fri, 25 Feb 2022 14:00:39 +0000

When we decided we wanted to live near Spain's high speed rail we discovered Valencia city. It's an hour to Madrid by high speed rail and an hour to Barcelona by ferry over the Mediterranean. They have an international airport. The location was exactly what we were looking for. When we looked into the city […]

Moving Overseas | The Decision

Ammi Embry — Fri, 11 Feb 2022 14:00:03 +0000

In January 2019 we went to London and Hyderabad India and we had an adventure. Travel was difficult, but the experiences and the different perspectives we were exposed to were wonderful. We started to play with the idea of retirement in the European Union. After a few months of research we decided Spain would be […]

We were vaccinated and boosted as soon as possible. Still yet, we have continued to take precautions against covid. Ammi's health over the last half decade […]
