Frequently Asked Questions

I have transfered and revised all my insurances with Caroline when before I had them with the bank and my home was not insured properly as the bank did not cover some issues I claimed. She is so friendly and is always available to explain to me how things work the 'spanish' way! 

I reached out to her after losing a job offer from a Spanish company because I didn't have a work permit or a NIE. She immediately booked a quick appointment for me and helped me get my visa approved in less than two months! Since then, she’s been my go-to person whenever I have questions about my taxes or payslip (nómina).

Caroline reminds me every year to file my Spanish taxes—otherwise, I'd probably have gotten a fine by now! I also handle my car insurance through her. Her prices and services are top-notch, and I completely trust her with my affairs.

Have you ever driven across the Nullarbor? No? What is the Nullarbor? haha
Ok, in Latin Nullarbor means no trees, and in Oz along the south coast is a stretch of land void of trees.
Dead straight roads the mirage in the heat off into nothing, seeming to disappearing into the sky.
When driving across it your main companions are the giant road trains, sometimes 50m long with 2 to 3 carriages they are the kings of the road.
In this picture I’ve attempted to capture the size and power of a road train and to roared past me (it was pretty scary) and the beauty of the sunset over the Nullarbor
