Heartley transitioned from a stable life in Austin's booming tech scene to seeking adventure in Barcelona. After considering various locations, she embraced the chance to move abroad at 29, motivated by a desire for exploration and freedom. With a solid savings built from her software sales career, she sold her belongings and prepared for this significant life change, reflecting her journey from comfort to curiosity.
Living in Austin with its booming tech scene and rich culture significantly advanced my career. I found amazing opportunities and made wonderful friends in the city.
After experiencing job layoffs in my startup, I felt ready for an adventure abroad, seeking to explore and embrace personal growth beyond the comforts of home.
At 29, without significant ties like a job or a family, I felt empowered to make a bold choice and move to Spain on a student visa.
I built up substantial savings from my sales job, allowing me to transition from living alone in Austin to preparing for a new life in Barcelona.
