A friendly bridge between cultures
Spain feels easier when you know someone local.
I have lived in Spain since 2009, and I understand both the joy of discovering it and the baffling practical moments that come with it. Hello Abroad helps you enjoy more of the first and worry less about the second.
Welcome to your new home.
A little help goes a long way
Helping Spain feel a little more like home.
I’ve lived in Spain since 2009. I know the little things that make it wonderful — and the very real things that can make it feel complicated when you’re new.

From our sister school
Learn Spanish, online.
A little Spanish makes every appointment, phone call and chat with the neighbours easier. Simply Spanish offers live online classes with native teachers, in small groups or one-to-one, from your first “hola” to DELE exam preparation.
Every journey begins with hello.
Whether you are arriving for a long weekend or starting a new chapter, there is a lot to work out. Hello Abroad makes the first steps feel a little more human.
