A British woman has revealed the “heartbreaking” part of her life abroad that no one warned her about.
Living under clear blue skies surrounded by picturesque landscapes, she finds most days in Spain to be pure bliss, but admits there’s still something from the UK that she misses greatly.
Despite the allure of Spain’s sumptuous tapas and mouth-watering paella, it’s a simple British delight she yearns for. In an emotional TikTok video, she confessed: “The heartbreak about moving to Spain that no one tells you about. You’re going to miss these.”
She then flips the camera to show what she pines for – supermarket meal deals – a staple for budget-conscious Brits hunting for a lunchtime bargain. Her video has amused plenty on social media, where other UK expats have been quick to share their own missed delicacies.
Comments poured in, with one Malaga resident lamenting: “Move to Malaga last month, and I miss squash so much.” Another wrote: “M&S food is the most missed. And Boots/Superdrug for basic medicine, as going to the pharmacy for paracetamol (and basics) is a hassle.”
A third chimed in with similar sentiments, writing: “I do miss British supermarkets that sell everything, including Aspirins. And M&S underwear, but other than that I’m good.”
A fourth user was left baffled though, adding: “Imagine moving to Spain and missing British food. Wild.”
Geo, who relocated to Malaga in her 20s, makes engaging videos for her audience, sharing glimpses of life as a Brit overseas. Not only does she highlight the perks of living in such a picturesque country, but she candidly discusses the challenges that come with starting anew under the Mediterranean sun.
With an impressive following of more than 20,000 people on social media, fans are captivated by her journey of establishing roots in Spain at such a tender age.
