ABOUT ME

I grew up in a small village in Austria and studied economics at the Vienna University of Economics and Business.

Then I worked in the financial administration as head of the taxation department. Among other things, I was responsible for answering difficult legal questions of all kinds, supervising compliance with tax regulations and dealing with appeals against tax assessment notices.

Although I really enjoyed my job, there came a time when life as a civil servant and the routine of everyday life became too tight for me.

So I quit my secure job, packed all my belongings into a backpack and started travelling in search of new challenges.

On this journey through South Africa, Germany and Spain, I worked as a controller and consultant for a German company and as a coordinator for a social network.

Now I’ve been living in Spain for several years in a small house in the countryside. The reason why I live here. It’s quite simple. I love the sun and I like it warm.

Ambitious as I am, I wanted to be well prepared and take care of the required formalities for a longer and legal residence in Spain myself.

So I researched on the Internet and asked friends who had already lived in Spain. In the course of this, I repeatedly came across very general, inadequate and sometimes incorrect information.

The lack of information and half-knowledge was frustrating and unsatisfactory for me.

I therefore began to study the appropriate Spanish legal bases and regulations in order to obtain reliable first-hand information. From this, a vision developed for me.
