Written for people who move between worlds.

No gatekeepers, and no assumption that you already know the system.

  • Expatriates

    Settling in Spain and tired of advice that stops at the airport.

  • Investors

    Buying property or moving capital, and wanting the risk spelled out before the notary does.

  • Digital nomads

    Looking for a base, not just a visa.

  • The quietly curious

    Here for the writing on roots, movement and what we carry with us.

What readers say.

I've been following Salah for two years. His insights on Spanish real estate saved me from buying in a flood zone, and his writing makes me feel like I'm sitting in a café in Málaga.

The Caravan is the only newsletter I actually read. It's not about selling. It's about sharing a way of life.

Portrait of Salah Nomad

One writer, no sponsors.

Writer and cultural translator. Salah Nomad shares actionable wisdom from his journey—from Mediterranean olive groves to Málaga's tech scene—to help you build a more resilient, meaningful, and rooted life in a world of constant movement.

  • Paid only by you

    No seller, bank or platform pays me. No conflict of interest, no hidden incentive.

  • Verified in the field

    What I report, I have checked on the ground, with named contacts and dates.

  • Written by a person

    Every dispatch is original and written from the field.

Before you subscribe.

What is The Caravan?
The Caravan is my weekly letter to readers who are building lives across borders. Each issue is a dispatch from the field: something I checked, something I learned, something worth passing on.
How often does it arrive?
Once a week, on Fridays. Each letter takes about five minutes to read.
Is it really free?
Yes. Subscribing costs nothing and nothing is required in return. If you want to support independent research, you can contribute in crypto, but that is entirely optional.
What will I read about?
Three things: due diligence insights on property, tax and relocation in Spain; relocation stories from people who made the move; and essays from the Mediterranean Codex on living between worlds.
Can I read some of it before I subscribe?
Yes. Browse the blog, the popular posts, or follow the RSS feed if you prefer your own reader.
Which language is it written in?
English, with an occasional Mediterranean accent.
How do I unsubscribe?
Every letter ends with an unsubscribe link. One click and you are off the list.
How is my email address used?
To send you The Caravan. The privacy policy explains how your data is handled.
Is the writing generated by AI?
No. Every dispatch is written by me, from the field.
Is The Caravan a sales funnel?
No. It is a letter. The manuals and private services live on the site, and you will find them there when you want them.

Friday, in your inbox.
