A couple fled "unsafe" London and emigrated to Spain after after a stabbing on their street and say they save £1k-a-month living abroad and are now "living the dream". Tim Sunderland, 35, and his fiancé, Sally Biddal, 33, decided to leave their new build studio flat in Fulham, London, for Nerja, in Andalusia, southern Spain.
The couple claim the cost-of-living crisis combined with a spate of local crimes in their area made their life in London "a chore". Having grown up in Hammersmith and Fulham, Londoner Tim felt "there was a lot of tension" in the capital - after his friend was mugged twice and lots of watches and phones in their area were stolen.
Tim - who runs a multi asset brokerage Mitto Markets - decided to shut up shop in the UK in March - and now is a digital nomad. This new lifestyle means he can roam around different countries with access to the internet his only requirement.
Tim is running his company from his laptop on a sunny terrace with a sea view and says he now has a "happy perspective on life".
