First Week in Barcelona

 So I have my first five days and they have been absolutely awesome. It honestly feels like a dream. I don't know what I did to deserve all this good karma but I am accepting with open arms. I didn't post on Wednesday because honestly not a lot happened I unpacked a bit and got my room ready, did some administrative and went bouldering but had very little conversation, had dinner with my roommates again, so I felt like it was not really blog worthy. Thursday and Friday tho...

Thursday started with a really great bouldering session again where I met some people who also recently moved to Barcelona. Later I went to my future work and everyone was super nice and the building looks great and has a good atmosphere. I also had my weekly spanish lesson which went very well and it was nice to express all the new things to my friend and teacher. After that I went to a sound bath with my roommates and met a bunch of their friends and we went for drinks and tapas after. We had a lot of fun and walked around until two looking for more food and ended up eating some suprisingly tasty truffle pizza after everything was already closed. Honestly a great day. 

The next day I had to do get some administrative stuff fixed which went super well, like everyone was like. How the fuck, that usually takes weeks to fix and you have it within 4 days. Then, I went on a date who accompanied me to get my ears pierced (I am too lazy to make a picture it will come) and had a great time together after the date I spent the rest of the afternoon with my roommates and their friends in the neighbourhood and had the best vegan ice cream ever. The guy texted that he wanted to cook for me, so we had dinner together which also really nice. 

My days have really been filled with meeting incredible new people, true connections and just surpassing all my expectations.

Start of the trip!

 Due to popular request (three people), I will attempt to keep track of my move to Barcelona. This is hella awkward so bear with me. Hopefully, the quality will increase over time. Also don't know what things I will actually be sharing, how often I will update the blog or if this format will even work for me (or for you guys) but we will see. As my trip has lasted less than one hour up until now I will keep it short and sweet. I stepped on the train (please climate don't make me regret this) at Schiphol and was more than an hour early to minimise the possibility of problems, which obviously arose (Chaos alert) when I decided to leave my wallet in my friend's car that brought me to Schiphol. I had enough time to retrieve it, so all was well. Anyhow, getting on the train went quite smooth and putting the luggage (5 pieces) away as well (shout out to my little brother). Let's hope for the same energy tomorrow with 16 hours of travel and two transfers. A friend will travel ...

A month in Barcelona!

 So I have been here for a month now and I can definitely say that moving to this city was a great decision. Life has felt like a vacation eventhough I am slowly starting have some routines, life is still full of weekly new experiences. What experiences, you ask. So it was definitely a bad idea to wait two weeks with updating my blog, because I am extremely forgetful. I will try my best to list everything and if I have enough energy put them in the correct order.  As the weeks before my baseline has become working, bouldering and having multiple dinners with the roommates through out the week. Alongside going out on Friday and having brunch with the roomies on the weekend. I am getting used to the situation at work a bit more. I can't say that it is necessarily better but I definitely feel more at ease. So from last week I remember having two board game nights, my roommates really like board games so we invited a friend over the first time (lost everything that night) and went...

So I would love to say I was to busy to write anything in the past couple of days, but honestly I was just putting it forward for some reason :-). I guess this method of updating is still not super natural to me. My second week in Barcelona was definitely less eventful. I went to scope out good places for my hobbies. I went out dancing Bachata and went climbing with a friend and a lot of hanging out with my roommates (Bananagrams in Spanish was a definite highlight). Also a lot of administrative stuff like getting a bank account and registration in the city had to be done! Which all went quite easy, especially compared to the stories I heard! After fixing all of the administrative that was necessary to start working, I went and booked myself a little trip in the south of Spain! Wednesday I would set of to Malaga but before this, I dyed my hair blonde. New city, new look I guess B-). So yeah I took the train for 6.5 hours and no this is not a slow train Spain is just that freaking big. ...
