An Argentine TikTok user, known as Lucia Fernández Tell, shared her experience of emigrating to Majorca, Spain, along with her boyfriend, who were in search of a better future in Europe. However, his plans were threatened by a comment that put his new life plan in check.
The thing is that two days after starting their adventure in Mallorca, a comment made without malice made them regret their life decision. After spending seven months in Sicily, they had little savings, those they had accumulated when they left Argentina.
Fortunately for her, her boyfriend’s best friend was living on the island and was able to receive them, so that the couple would gain time in search of a new place on the Old Continent. Furthermore, the high rental valuewhich even makes life difficult for the locals and which is a constant, also played its role.
In that sense, their friend told them that it would be “impossible” to continue with the plan they had in mind if they did not have a house or a rental already agreed upon in advance. “Don’t they even have a job? Not even the NIE? Forget it, you won’t be able to get anything. It’s impossible here.”I will explain.
Beyond these obstacles, they decided to try their luck in Spain and managed to find a place to live. “When you are emigrating, really Everything they tell you is very important and it affects you a lot because they can lead you to make very important decisions,” explained Lucia, who added: “Sometimes you don’t have to take everything so literally.”
The videos have nearly 80,000 views and have around 1,500 likes. Likewise, users left their opinions on the matter in the comments section: “People have no idea what hurts and destroys,” “I can’t give an opinion because I arrived in 1998,” and “The reality is that without papers it is very difficult.” are some of the messages.
