After a number of health issues, US couple Jason Luban and Selena Medlen were in need of a change of scene. The couple took a short trip to Andalusia, Spain, in 2016, but neither could have predicted they’d end up relocating there just a few months later.
After a number of failed IVF rounds, health issues and the death of their beloved dog, US couple Jason Luban and Selena Medlen were in need of a change of scenery. The couple, then based in Oakland, California, had penciled in a trip to Andalusia, Spain, months before, but were unsure whether to go ahead with it when the health of Luban, who has torsion dystonia, a rare movement disorder, began to deteriorate.
“I think we struggled with the siesta concept,” admits Medlen. “We’d be gung-ho to get a bunch of things done, and we’d run into town to do those mundane tasks that we all have to do. “But everything’s closed between two and five. So you pretty much can’t do anything.” The pair admit that it took them some time to transition from being around expats constantly, to integrating within the Spanish community, and say that this is something that they’re still navigating.
