America Is Stressed. Spain Has the Cure

Life in the U.S. feels more stressful than ever — endless multitasking, burnout, and pressure to always be productive. But living in Spain has shown us another way. 🎥 Quick note: No, you don’t need to clean your glasses — our camera was slightly out of focus for this one!
