living in Barcelona…

I can’t believe it’s been two years since we set off on our first long-stay adventure together. In 2023, @calin.charles and I packed up our suitcases, and journeyed to Barcelona for three months on whim. We had put all of our personal belongings into a single bedroom at our apartment in Calgary, handed the keys over to a friend, and traded it for a winter spent in the capital of Catalonia. 

We learned a lot over the following three months, especially that that type of travel just wasn’t for us. 

Three months is both too long, and too short. Allow me to elaborate: It’s too long for general travel. We didn’t have the opportunity to travel anywhere else in Spain (our budget couldn’t stretch any further), and we were able to see all the local sights pretty quickly, not working full-time. But, it’s too short of a time to establish any kind of community, get over culture shock and integrate, or learn a language. You definitely need a visa and plan a long-term stay if those are your goals.

If we were to do it again, keeping in mind we do prefer a slower pace, but also enjoy novelty and new experiences as people with ADHD, we would book either week-long or month-long stays (depending on how much there is to see or do in the location) to hop between. This allows for weekly or monthly discounts to still be taken advantage of, but allows you to actually travel around on a “sabbatical.”

Although we might have done things differently, we still think back in awe at our time there, and are proud of ourselves for stepping outside of the box and trying something new!
