This post is about my short trip back to Barcelona to see someone again who I really like a lot. I just arrived in Germany after 2 years of traveling. I was quite nervous to come back. Actually it was great to be there and I could see my change. Back in Germany stayed in contact with my roommate. He said 3 times that it would be nice if we saw each other once again before I would go back to Mexico. When he said it the first time I was like “But I haven’t planned it”. Second time: “Well,...

Barcelona is shitty! Barcelona is great! My relationship with Barca is quite diverse. It last for more than 8 month and wasn’t my first choice. But when I look back I had a great time there. In this post I tried to summarize my time in Barcelona. In the beginning I had quite a culture shock. I was like a rabbit in a corner; unable to move. Until I remembered why I came back and stood up again. By the way: The trickiest situations during my journey I had in Barcelona. However, in Barcelona I...

A couple of days ago I visited Madrid and caught up with my younger brother and his girlfriend. I haven't seen him for 1,5 years due to my travels. Time runs... In the park El Retiro in Madrid I reflected some things about myself, my current situation and my dreams.

“I am near-sighed and need to wear glasses or contact lenses as help to see clearly. But when I have tears in my eyes I can see clearly in that very moment… In every sense.” Jeanine I had the urgent need to write the following post before I completely adapt and forget... Well, I underestimated what it means to come back to Europe after 10 months abroad. Especially after 6 months living very in Mexico and Guatemala… Life is very different from Europe with all its advantages and...

After the meditation center I went by blablacar from Malaga to Valencia. There I was stunned by the great street art. They have literally art in every corner. I took a lot of photos of the street art in Valencia, rent a great bicycle due to a guy in my hostel and explored the city. I also had a short panic moment in Valencia... My last days in Spain I spent in Madrid before I flew back to Dublin for a stopover before I took the flight to Toronto in Canada. I went to Madrid by blablacar and...

My new workplace was the Centro de Meditación Kadampa in Alhaurin el Grande. I found it through Jessie a Dutch girl who I met in Cádiz. She didn't go there because she feared that they will just speak Spanish. I didn't care, took as at chance to improve my Spanish, applied and went two weeks later to the center. Exchange with people is very inspirational and helpful! In the meditation center I got to know to very nice and interesting people like Almudena from Cádiz, Nacha from Chile and Juan...

I came by blablacar from Cádiz to Malaga. That is a common way to get from one point to another in Spain. I was really lucky and had a nice driver: Adriana who is a professional snowboarder and has a great taste for music. Malaga was for me just a stopover before I went to my next volunteer job in a meditation center close to Malaga. I stayed there for 8 days. Quite a long stopover... I have to admit that I don't really like Malaga. I mean in comparison to other cities I saw so far in Spain....

My friend Marco from Muenster gave me a lift to Cádiz the oldest town in Europe. There I just wanted to relax and get some ideas for my blog in sense of what I could add to it etc. The atmosphere was perfect for that! A lot of creative energy and very nice and easy going people. I lived in a very nice and cosy hostel where I felt home: the DeCadiz Cadi. Moreover I went for free to the No Sin Música festival, I watched with a Portuguese guy from Stuttgart the game Germany vs Portugal and I met...

After almost 6 month of going from one host to the next I decided to take a break and take the real backpack life. That means to explore Spain and live in hostels. I went first to Seville because everyone I met told me it is very beautiful and shouldn't miss it. They were right! It is very beautiful and worth to see. My next destination should be Cádiz. I already organized a so-called blablacar which I didn't need in the end... In Seville I had a great reunion with an old friend of mine from...

Again, it was quite close that I got the bus to Orce when Anne gave me a lift to the bus station. We just didn't watch the time during lunch. I think it becomes a ritual for me to get quite close the bus. Actually it feels in a way relieving because it is the opposite of how I was before my journey. Moreover it shows me that this way works quite well :-). In Orce I helped Alain with painting, plastering and building in his cave house which he bought in a lonely place in the mountains of Orce....
