In 2004 my husband left for Spain in search of a job, and later I joined him there as well. My family was happy, because we were earning enough to support our family in Georgia from there. In those 9 years that I spent in Spain, I changed jobs several times. At first it was hard I could not speak a word of Spanish, I missed my daughter and I had to adjust to a new and different culture, traditions and lifestyle. But then I managed to bring my daughter to Spain as well. I started working for a Spanish family; I was taking care of their children and they made me feel like a member of their family. They also help my husband find a job and helped my daughter in getting a proper education. I cannot image what my life in this foreign place would be without these people. We came back to Georgia in 2014. I miss my years in Spain and I cherish the experiences and skills that I gained there. Most of all, I value the social skills that I gathered there. Now I tell people that migration can be more than just separation from your homeland. It can be a very positive experience if you are lucky and you meet the right people.
