5am in the car to drive three hours with my lawyer to the in country Aima appointment to finally get my residency card (sort of they mail it). And I didn't bring my passport...I had printed versions of it. But the physical passport...left it right at home, the lawyer didn't even think to ask when I got in the car with him. Because it seems that obvious...unless you are me. But, I did have snacks.

An apostille is a government certification that makes a U.S. document legally recognized in another country. It verifies that the document is authentic so foreign governments will accept it. For example, if someone is moving to Mexico, Mexican authorities may require apostilles on documents like: • Birth certificates • Marriage certificates • FBI background checks • College diplomas • Powers of attorney • Corporate documents Without the apostille, those documents often won’t be accepted overseas. Please reach out with any questions or for help.

Germany just finished a 4-day workweek trial (same pay, fewer hours)… and 73% of participating companies are planning to keep it. Read that again: same pay + more life. Meanwhile, Spain’s attempt to reduce the standard workweek to 37.5 hours got stalled politically- but this kind of data from Germany keeps the pressure building across Europe. I pulled this from today’s “Spain Remote Work Digest” (Remote Work Europe- Maya + Diana). If you’re tracking Spain/Europe remote life, it’s worth subscribing. Discussion prompt for the group 👇If you had a legit 4-day week option: 1. Would you take it immediately? 2. What would you do with the extra day (family, side hustle, travel, rest)? 3. Would you trade some salary for it, or only if pay stays the same? Drop your answer below ⬇️
