Quick Tour Guy — Our life in Spain, no filter.
I'm Alex — an American living full-time in Valencia, Spain. After years in the corporate world and a chapter owning a travel agency and appearing as The Travel Guy on morning television, I moved to Spain and never looked back.
This channel is for you if you're planning a trip, dreaming of one, or considering a life abroad. I walk the cities, find the best local eats, and show what travel feels like beyond the guidebooks…but I also take you inside the reality of living in Spain: the healthcare, the paperwork, the cost of living, the property market, and what daily life looks like as an American expat in Spain - Valencia is home, but Spain is the story.
No polished postcard moments. Just honest answers, real neighborhoods, and the Spain most visitors never see…from our Valencia front door to wherever the road takes us next.
New videos every week: Valencia, Spain, and the world beyond.

Turns out leaving your country has consequences. One of them is a YouTube channel. 🍊 Now I'm based in Valencia, eating my way through Europe — Rome, Florence, Venice and wherever my wallet allows next. If you're planning a trip, dreaming about moving abroad, or just here for the food — you're in the right place. Drop a comment: in which country should I eat next?
