  • How to Plan a Scouting Trip to Spain Before You Move

    How to Plan a Scouting Trip to Spain Before You Move
    Mar 11 2026

    If you’re planning a scouting trip to Spain, the goal is not just to see beautiful places — it’s to figure out where your life might actually fit best.


    In this video, I talk through some of the most important things to think about when scouting different cities and towns in Spain: getting clear on your non-negotiables, narrowing down regions, slowing down enough to really feel a place, talking to locals, exploring beyond the obvious areas, and trusting your gut when a place surprises you.


    A few reminders as you plan your own scouting trip:


    1. Start with your priorities, but don’t make your list so rigid that you miss a place that feels right

    2. Compare several areas, then circle back and spend more time in your favorites

    3. Get beyond the tourist center and spend time in real neighborhoods

    4. Talk to locals and people who have already made the move

    5. Test the pace, rhythm, and practical side of daily life

    6. Leave room to be surprised

  • Madrid Neighborhoods: Where Should You Live?

    Madrid Neighborhoods: Where Should You Live?
    Feb 18 2026

    Feeling overwhelmed by Madrid? Wondering which neighborhoods you should actually consider, what it costs to rent or buy, and how to find “your place” in a city that seems to have endless options?


    In this conversation, Vanessa Rosenblum sits down with Sanja of eXp Realty to help you cut through the noise and start making smart, grounded decisions—whether you’re relocating soon or just beginning your research.


    Sanja shares a practical, on-the-ground framework for narrowing your search: how to match lifestyle + commute realities, how to spot “too good to be true” listings, and how to avoid the common mistakes that cost newcomers time and money.


    You’ll learn


    Which neighborhoods tend to be the easiest landing zones for internationals (and why): Salamanca District, Chamberí, and pockets like Almagro.


    What renting typically requires (documents, deposits, income expectations) and how to plan ahead.


    How to sanity-check prices and expectations using Idealista (and what not to believe at first glance).


    How to avoid scams—especially when using short-term platforms like Airbnb as a bridge.


    Where families often look when they want more space outside the center: Pozuelo de Alarcón, Las Rozas, Boadilla del Monte.


    A forward-looking perspective on growth and development zones like Madrid Nuevo Norte and how that can influence a rent-vs-buy decision.


    If you’re trying to choose the right area (not just a popular one), this episode will give you a clearer path—so you can stop spinning and start narrowing.
