Connect with Costa Women
My name is Ali Meehan and I am a serial inpat now living on the Costa del Sol and keen to integrate and enjoy the culture of my wonderful (new) home country, Spain.
My parents had lived in the Middle East in the 1950s and our home was always filled with stories about different cultures and experiences with our walls and surfaces full of momentos. In the 1990s I lived and worked in Australia, but had to return to the UK for family reasons. Meeting my husband in 2002, who was already living and working in Spain, was the start of a decade of travel and life in Spain, the Middle East and then Asia.
Learning from my lives overseas, in 2010 I decided to build a space for Women to provide a connection point to make new friends as well as get real life, essential tips and advice about life in sunny Spain. And I wanted to make it free.
Costa Women was created as a community for Women like you - living in, or thinking about relocating to Spain.
Having travelled this far, the Costa Women members already share an adventurous spirit; we have stepped outside of our normal environment and moved overseas – this provides us with a wonderful link whatever culture or country we have arrived from.
Costa Women connect Women over the whole of Spain; from Costa del Sol to Asturias, from Barcelona to Cadiz, from Madrid to Canary Islands and all the places in-between. We host local events in 28 different locations.
The friends that you can make on Costa Women are just one of the many benefits of joining the community website. We enjoy the diversity of all individuals from 64 different countries, including our wonderful Spanish hosts now arriving at costawomen.com; we all have a story to tell.
costawomen.com is free to join and any Women can become a member; no matter what your hobbies, values, beliefs, or views. Use the website as a springboard to find other likeminded Women and to create a network of friends. We also offer lots of space for Women in Business to build their network, learn new skills and share their products and services.
The website offers:-
And in your Tool Kit we built:-
To help new arrivals, we created spainexpo.org – an online course with comprehensive information about your move to Spain. The course is full of interesting and value-packed conversations with experts who will share with you their knowledge covering topics such as buying a property, the school system, having a business in Spain, retirement, legal requirements, and much more.
Plus our members have written a series of e-books called Spain & Me containing stories about life in Spain from women who lived here.
To help you plan your life, we have the annual Costa Women Planner to help you organise and make a commitment to create your best year ever. Amazing years don’t just happen by chance; we are the ones who need to work to ‘make it happen’.
And launched in Autumn 2019, a Mentorship Scheme to help you raise the game on your business and life in the sunshine.
And we have won awards!
