My wife grew up here. She went to the US after high school because the movies made it look rad.
We met in Madrid in grad school, bounced around the US for a few decades and COVID and Trump were kind of the catalysts to move back.
Assimilation is definitely easier for us because of her background and my childhood passion for Univision. But there are a lot of people here who are living the life I describe and learning Spanish in the process.
