Viva España

Written By Matt Blum

Trading in a 23-year career as a photographer in Texas for the uncertainty of life in Spain as an author wasn’t a decision—it was a leap off a cliff. Photography was safe, familiar, something I could do in my sleep. But writing? Writing is raw. It’s staring into the void and hoping someone cares what you have to say. Spain offers no promises, just the chance to rebuild, to challenge myself, and to live without a safety net. Turns out, discomfort is also one hell of a muse.

Wish me luck ;)
