A TV SHOW taught a Moray expat that switching his Spanish lifestyle for the north-east would lower his standard of living.
Kevin Isaac’s experience on the ITV programme – No Place Like Home – proved he would have a more contented lifestyle staying in Tenerife in the Canary Islands.
The 39-year-old left Elgin to work as a representative for a travel company.
For the past 20 years he has been settled in the Canary Islands, where he lives with his wife, Lindsay, and his two daughters, Isabel, 4, and Annabel, 2.
More recently, however, the self-employed comedy Elvis impersonator has been to his family back in the UK.
He said: “My daughter goes to university in Aberdeen and my mother’s been in and out of hospital with health problems, and we’re not getting to see much of them living abroad.
“The programme showed you what your life would be like if you went back.”
Mr Isaac spent two weeks in the UK followed by a film crew as researchers helped him to realise what the Canary Islands could offer him and his family if they opted to change their lifestyle.
But at the end of the filming he decided that Spain offered him the better lifestyle.
Mr Isaac said: “It just seems that I can’t do in Elgin what I can do in Spain.
“To continue my business I would have to travel up and down the country to holiday parks.
“Staying in Spain is no holiday. It’s real life, but I can still make a living and my daughters enjoy life here, so we’ve decided we’ll stay.”
Mr Isaac’s parents, Kenneth and Isabel, live at Maisondieu Place at Elgin.
He has three brothers, Ian, who lives in Aberdeenshire; Duncan, who lives at McDonald Drive, Lossiemouth; and Gary, who lives in the Scottish Borders.
