Speaking European – Jonas Olsson

Jonas Olsson became intimately familiar with the Torrevieja area through frequent visits with his golf-loving parents, soaking in the Spanish sun.

After years  of such visits and the addition of two children with his partner, they seized the opportunity to relocate to the pleasant climate.

Jonas and his partner Caroline, who worked in the Swedish Health Service system for a long time as chiropractors, decided to pursue their dreams and open a clinic in the vicinity of Torrevieja. Despite the hurdles posed by COVID-19, they courageously pursued their vision and succeeded in establishing a thriving business, Swedish chiropractor in Los Dolses .

While missing family and friends back home is natural, Jonas draws strength from his prior experiences living abroad, which have equipped him to navigate new cultures and unfamiliar territories. Now, with his focus squarely on his children’s well-being, Jonas finds profound contentment in their happiness.

Spain has an excellent education system

The change has brought Jonas immense satisfaction, not only for the weather but also for the quality of Spanish education, evident in his children’s multilingualism and seamless integration into Spanish culture. ‘They have friends from various nationalities with whom they can enjoy spending plenty of time outdoors, which is incredibly enriching.’ Jonas says.

‘Being able to know other cultures and learn another language as an adult is very exciting. Becoming part of something new is sensational’, Jonas reflects. Life in Spain is surely very different from Sweden, but there are challenges that people are happy to encounter to discover another life philosophy.
