Family Leaves UK for Spain and Will Not Return

A couple left Essex for Majorca. They have no plans to return to the UK.

The family has been in Pollensa for 10 weeks. They share their experience on YouTube.

Their daily life is very different from their old life in Essex.

Ray said they have not missed anything about the UK. They will visit for the London Marathon.

Jordan said they are happy and content. They want to give their kids a better life.

Jordan visited Majorca as a child. She and Ray fell in love with the island.

Ray's father's death made them realize life is short. They decided to move to Spain.

They moved for a better life, not for money.

Essex was a busy place. Life in Spain is slower and better for their kids.

Ray said life feels less heavy in Spain.

The couple used to be personal trainers. Now they work online.

Renting in Majorca is expensive. But it also brings new business opportunities.

Working remotely allowed them to move to Spain. Their life is now very different.

The family is still getting used to their new life. They have 'pinch ourselves' moments.

They live in the Old Town, where everything is within walking distance.

They rent a big townhouse with two balconies and four bathrooms.

The kids love their new life. They don't want to go back to the UK.

In the UK, the kids didn't bike much. Now they ride to school every day.

Kids in Majorca stay young longer. They play outside instead of using devices.

The lifestyle in Majorca makes you present and slow down.

Their electricity bill in Spain is much lower than in the UK.

The biggest challenge is the language. Spanish and Catalan are spoken.

The couple takes Spanish lessons. Their kids learn Catalan and Spanish at school.

The kids are learning the local dialect and Spanish.

Schools in Majorca finish at 1 pm. The couple has less time to work.

Jordan's biggest challenge is making sure their kids settle into school.

Their daughter was confident in the UK. Now she is in a bigger school with a language barrier.

The transition has been smoother than expected. Their daughter has made friends.

The family is getting used to a new routine. Kids go to bed later in Spain.

Kids in Majorca are active in the evening. They play outside and dance.

The town is family-friendly and relaxed. It's a warm community for kids.

The couple has a three-year visa. They can extend it and then apply for residency.

Ray doesn't see a reason to return to the UK. Jordan agrees.

They plan to stay in Spain forever.
