If you haven’t stumbled upon Days We Spend yet, let me introduce you to one of the most inspiring travel-and-life YouTube channels out there. What began as a simple project to “share how we spend a few days” has grown into a deep, thoughtful resource for people dreaming of travel, relocation, van life, or simply living life with intention.

Check out the “Days we spend” a youtube channel that gave us a lot of info about Galicia. What makes them stand out is how personal and “real” their content is. They don’t just show the highlight reel — there’s a lot of “how to make this work in real life” behind their videos and blog posts.
