The moving abroad journal I wish I had

Moving abroad is exciting, overwhelming, and full of moments you don’t expect, and honestly, I wish I had a place to capture all of it.

Not just the big milestones, but everything in between.

That’s exactly why a moving abroad journal can make such a difference. It’s not just about writing, it’s about documenting your whole experience as it unfolds.

Barcelona 5 day itinerary

This 5-day itinerary is designed to help you experience the best of Barcelona without rushing. It combines must-see highlights like the Sagrada FamĂ­lia and Park GĂĽell with local neighborhoods, hidden corners, and time to slow down.

It’s all about balance, seeing the iconic spots while still leaving room to wander, discover, and enjoy the atmosphere that makes Barcelona so special.

For every day I have made a day program + my favorite food & drinks spots in the neighborhoods + links to buy tickets.
