What is it like to work remotely from Seville?

1. This is the background noise of my work calls: spontaneous flamenco singing in the streets of Trianahttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Gesicht mit FreudentrĂ€nen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit FreudentrĂ€nen">

2. My computer, my phone and all my internet accounts have no idea of where I am. Some show me content in English and some in Spanish. Some still direct me to their .co.uk sites and some ask me to confirm my location every time I visit them. VPN doesnât solve everything.
3. Sorting out taxes and my employment status in Spain whilst working as a contractor in the UK was a nightmare. In the end I became self-employed/sole trader, but I also found a number of umbrella companies specialised in working with contractors abroad. So this is a thing.
4. The disconnection between my work life and my personal life, or in other words, what I experience inside/outside of work is huge. It goes without saying that Andalusian and British cultures have different values, traditions and ways of expressing oneself and behaving. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đđœ" title="Tanzende Frau (mittlerer Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Tanzende Frau (mittlerer Hautton)"> https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ€·đ»ââïž" title="Achselzuckende Frau (heller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Achselzuckende Frau (heller Hautton)">
5. Hardly anyone I know here works in Design or Tech. Nobody seems to care about it either, behind using the products. None of my friends really understand what I do, and theyâve stopped asking.
6. Meeting people in person is awesome. Even in this pandemic, you just go to the same coffee shops, bars etc every day and the usual suspects show up and we have a little nice chat (tertulia). Most plans are improvised and end up in a âterracitaâ with a few tapas and beers.
7. Iâm sure Iâm forgetting lots of English, and my Spanish accent is back to sounding strongly Andalusian https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Gesicht mit FreudentrĂ€nen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit FreudentrĂ€nen"> Found this guy who does TikToks about how the way we speak is different from the rest of Spain. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMebdCXAr/ ">https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMebdCXAr...
8. Seville is breathtakingly beautiful and it wonât let you forget it or get used to it. Itâs easy to run into beautiful images like these even when you just go out quickly to buy bread or do daily errands.
9. Itâs sunny 95% the time and thatâs good because I donât feel the anxiety I did in London when I saw a ray of Sun and I had to go out or Iâd miss it! Itâs also unbearably hot from April/May until November, so folks need to adapt their routines.
10. What was this thread about again? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Gesicht mit FreudentrĂ€nen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit FreudentrĂ€nen">
Anyway, do I love living in Seville and am I happy here? Yes.
Do I painfully miss London too? Absolutely.
