About the author Joanna Styles is a freelance writer and author based in Malaga, which she sees as just about the perfect place to live. Joanna first arrived on the Costa del Sol in 1989 ready to start a new life with her husband. Over 30 years later, she has gained big insight into living on the Costa del Sol as a foreigner. She has worked as a teacher, started her own business and set up a company; brought up two daughters who went to four different types of school; moved house several times between Marbella and Malaga (buying and renting); and done all the paperwork from getting a NIE and Spanish driving licence to getting Spanish nationality and filing tax returns. She has used this experience professionally. Her writing journey began with Survival Books updating relocation 'bibles' such as Living & Working in Spain and writing Culture Wise Spain and Costa del Sol Lifeline among others (now all sadly out of print). And she has written numerous articles about relocating for publications such as A Place in the Sun magazine. When it comes to inside local knowledge, Joanna updates the Costa del Sol and Andalusian chapters in Fodor's Essential Spain every year. In 2020, Joanna received an avalanche of emails from Guide to Malaga users asking questions about moving to the Costa del Sol. She created Your Guide to Moving to Malaga and the Costa del Sol to provide all the answers.
