Hola a todos!
I’m Jennifer Bush, a writer living Barcelona. What is STARTING OVER IN SPAIN about? It’s about my new life as an expat and more recently, a Spanish national.
Twice a month I publish personal stories about the ups and downs, triumphs and challenges, of starting over, from scratch, in a new country. My essays trace the trajectory of this ongoing journey and include cultural commentary about life in Spain.
In the process, I hope to understand myself a little better and to offer a glimpse of what a dramatic reboot in midlife looks like. For anyone who is contemplating a major shakeup or is ready to act on a dream deferred, I hope STARTING OVER IN SPAIN can inspire and inform.
A little about me. I’m a longtime writer and editor who began my career in newspapers with The Washington Post and then moved on to magazines. I was the lifestyle editor at Child magazine back in the day and later the articles editor for Elle Decor. As the journalism landscape evolved, so did my career. I shifted to writing about design for companies like Restoration Hardware, Banana Republic, Pottery Barn, among others. Meanwhile, this newsletter gives me a different way to express myself creatively.
