A WOMAN has revealed why she ditched the UK for sunny Spain as she showed viewers her new home.
Taking to social media, the mum-of-two and her husband left England to start a new life in Alicante.
The mum, who goes by gbfitnessuk2spain on TikTok, revealed she had a wake up call when her best friend sadly passed away.
The mum, who was sick of ‘just surviving’ and ‘working to pay the bills ,’ so decided to leave behind her life in the UK and hasn’t looked back.
She moved abroad with her partner, daughter and son, but her son soon decided he wanted to stay in the UK and live with his grandparents, visiting the family for regular holidays in their new home.
In a recent clip, the mum showed her new house in Spain which was part of a gated community.
The massive house had a huge driveway which took ‘ten minutes to walk around.’
To the side of the house was a massive private pool the family owned with plenty of space for sun loungers.
At the back of the house was yet another seating area fenced in to keep her dog Poppy safe.
There was also a smaller building to the side of the house which the mum planned to turn into a games room,
Alongside the pool is a table tennis area, trampoline, outdoor shower and a bowls area.
As if that wasn’t enough, the family also had their own private trail leading from the house which was perfect for long dog walks.
To top it off, up at the highest point of the land, the family were building a fire pit area to make the most of the scenery.
The family were loving their new life in the sun, and she revealed the house which was significantly bigger than her home in the UK cost them £100,000 less.
The clip went viral with over 72k views and many people took to the comments in awe of their new home.
One person wrote: “That’s what you call living the dream. Any insights into the financial aspect?”
“Houses out here are a lot cheaper than the UK and if you go inland you get a lot more for your money ,” she replied.
“We sold our UK home and this was 100k less. I’ll do a video of our UK home and you can see the comparison in size and what you get for your money.”
Another commented: “Beautiful! Best thing my parents did was move to Spain.”
Moving house hacks
1. Declutter Before You Pack
Sort through your belongings and get rid of anything you no longer need. Donate, sell, or recycle items to lighten your load.
2. Create an Inventory
Make a list of all your items. This helps keep track of everything and ensures nothing gets lost in the move.
3. Use Quality Packing Materials
Invest in sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, and packing tape. This will protect your belongings during the move.
4. Label Everything
Clearly label each box with its contents and the room it belongs to. This makes unpacking much easier and more organized.
5. Pack a ‘First Day’ Box
Include essentials like toiletries, a change of clothes, snacks, and important documents. This will keep you from rummaging through boxes on your first day.
6. Take Photos of Electronics Setup
Before unplugging your electronics, take photos of the wiring setup. This will make it easier to reconnect everything at your new place.
7. Use Suitcases for Heavy Items
Pack books and other heavy items in rolling suitcases. This makes them easier to transport and reduces the risk of injury.

Use different coloured stickers or markers for each room. This will help movers quickly identify where each box should go in your new home.
