It took me three visits to Montserrat to finally be able to write a blog about it. This mountaintop is famous for the black Madonna and her arrival still remains a great mystery. Legends said that she was found on the mountain in the year 880 after flashes of light shone down from heaven. No [...]

The old year
For me travelling is an important part of my life. If I’m in the same place for too long, I get bored and I feel stuck. Seeing new places gives me energy and inspiration. A good journey doesn’t always have to involve going to another country. Just seeing another part of our city or a [...]
When life gives you lemons…
Less than a year ago moving to Spain and following my dreams sounded like an illusion or at least a crazy idea that would not work out as planned. Even though I managed to overcome my fear and move away, I must say that things, in fact, didn’t work out as planned. There were some [...]
When the Romans came to Spain
A little bit south of Barcelona, on the beautiful east coast of Spain, there is a magical city called Tarragona. This city is special (and famous) because of its ancient Roman ruins and architecture.

We just wanted to walk in nature and chose a park that was reachable by public transport. At times the “path” only existed [...]

Last week two of my best friends visited me in Barcelona. They came to Barcelona to celebrate their holidays and I saw the city through their eyes. As a result, I also felt like I was on a trip rather than doing things in the city where I live. It’s always nice to do touristy [...]
When I moved to Spain
Do you remember that day I decided to move to Spain? Well, I do. That is because I was terrified. I was full of doubts and insecurities. Spain was not new for me – I had been there many times. What was new for me was that this time I finished university. I was not [...]
