The small stuff nobody tells you: how Bizum works, when the pharmacies close, which bin is which. The things that take locals years to learn.
MEET LISA
Originally from Scotland, living like a local in Castelldefels for 10 years. Mum to 2 teens, 2 chihuahas, and wife to Neil.
Not long after arriving, I started a Facebook group with one simple goal: to meet new friends.
That group now has nearly 9,000 members, and over the years I've organised dozens of meet-ups and events - helping connect thousands of international residents who live here.
This info hub was born from a simple realisation: I spend a lot of time answering the same questions. It's built from real-life experience, and from a decade of navigating the systems, the culture, and the everyday realities you won't find through a quick online search.
My aim is simple: to make your life in Castelldefels feel easier, clearer, and more navigable - whether you're brand new or you've been here for years.

Happy EXPATS...
"I honestly don’t know how I would have navigated life here without Lisa's advice. She just knows everything, from the admin side of things to how things actually work day-to-day. I’ve avoided so many mistakes (and unnecessary costs) just by following her advice. It’s like having an insider guide who actually tells you the truth."
Talya Leit
"The amount of time and money I’ve saved is unreal. Things that would have taken me weeks to figure out - or that I probably would have paid someone for - Lisa just explains so clearly. It’s not just basic information, it’s the kind of insight you only get from someone who’s really lived it and got the t-shirt!"
Rachel Berry
"Beyond all the practical help, Lisa has created such a genuine community. Through her events I’ve met some of my closest friends here, which is something I didn’t expect at all when I first moved. It’s rare to find someone who can help you with both the logistics and the human side of settling into a new place."
