Some Kind Words...
Bea and Paul or Everything is Boffo if you discovered them via YouTube (as we did) are a sweet couple who are living the dream in beautiful Valencia, Spain. We came across them when starting Valencia specific research and reached out to meet them and pick their brains on their experience moving from California (like us) to Valencia. We identified with them for this reason and really enjoyed our chat. We shared stories, laughed, it truly felt like we were longtime friends. We felt this way as we had already spent a long time watching them on YouTube, and now FB.
They are great ambassadors of all things Valencia, Spain, non-lucrative visa and other types of visas people typically apply for to start their next chapter adventure. They have knowledge about the places, the people, the culture, the food, and of course the famed bureaucracy. They also do interviews with professionals who can help you along the way.
We recommend watching the videos and meeting Bea and Paul via their website. The most important part of the journey is information. Get as much as you can so you won't fall into the trap of reading some random thing online and assuming it's true. Bea and Paul, the "Boffos", are nice people who have gone through the experience first hand. Good luck on your journey!

I'm writing to give a big shout-out to Bea & Paul of Everything is Boffo for their amazing help and guidance in understanding what it's like to live in Spain as a foreigner. Their knowledge and personal experiences were super helpful in answering all my questions and clearing up any uncertainties I had about moving to Spain. They broke down the costs of living, different visa options, and how an American can fit right into Spanish society. Their advice was spot-on and really helped me get a handle on the whole process of moving abroad.
Throughout our video call they were incredibly patient and knowledgeable. They explained the pros and cons of life in Spain in a way that gave me a balanced view. Their support went beyond just information; they shared practical tips and personal stories that made the idea of living in Spain both exciting and reassuring. Thanks to their help, I now feel confident and ready to start this new adventure. I'm grateful for their assistance and highly recommend them to anyone looking for advice on living in Spain. I felt like I was talking to family and not someone that I just spoke to for the first time. Highly, highly recommend anyone to take the time and speak to them face-to-face.

I would like to thank you and Paul for giving me and my family the opportunity to have the chance to meet with you and have our questions answered. Thank you for your generous time and for sharing your knowledge about Spain. The meeting was very insightful. We learned a lot. Your channel “Everything is Boffo” provides individuals the option to consider Spain for visit or as their future home. It is a great channel. More power to you both. “Bienvenidos a Espana!”
