A family-of-four ditched their life in the UK for a fresh start in Spain, with the household saying their quality of life has improved massively since moving to Alicante
A family who ditched the UK for Spain say their children could not be happier with the quality of life improvement. Paige Agius and her family packed up their belongings and moved to Europe. The family moved there for a “better life” and to give their two children the “best possible upbringing we can”.
Other members of the public are following suit, with many sharing their plans to leave their home country, opting instead for sunny skies and better opportunities abroad in Spain. A post to TikTok has seen Paige share the new life, depicting the family packing up their belongings and heading for Europe.
She has since explained why the family moved out to Spain, claiming there are better opportunities abroad than there are in the UK.
Paige wrote: “One whole month of our new life in Spain. Making the move was so far worth it.
“We sold our house in the UK and moved to Spain for a better life in the sun. We now live in a lovely three bed on an urb in Alicante with a pool just three doors up!”
An urb is short form for urbanizaciones, an area which is made up predominantly of houses instead of industry. Paige, whose two children will start school in September, says the summer was spent “integrating and making memories” in their new home.
Many members of the public have praised Paige for making the move, with the dream getaway something Brits are opting to do more and more.
One person wrote: “I moved to Spain two years ago and it was the best decision I ever made, and I’m only 23. I do miss home but I feel a lot more happier here than I did back in Leicester.”
Another added: “I live in Alicante, and it’s a magnificent city. You have as much right as anyone to live and enjoy the city of light. May you be very happy here!”
A third shared their experiences with living abroad, though they eventually opted to return home. They wrote: “I lived in Tenerife for 9 years, my little girl was born there. Back in the UK now but was the best time abroad. I loved living abroad.”
Paige later explained her reasons for moving to Spain, with “hard work and determination” making her family’s dream a possibility.
She shared: “My parents moved to Spain nearly 10 years ago. For a few years me and my partner would come out and visit them. Then we had a baby and we brought him to Spain often.
“Seeing them happy, enjoying life and all that Spain brings for children who love the outdoors we decided we wanted that life for them. And not the upbringing we thought they’d have in the UK.”
