Suitcase essentials

The perfect finds for traveling & moving abroad.

In 2022, I packed up my life and moved to Barcelona, and I quickly learned just how important it is to have the right gear for moving abroad. That is why I am starting this series: to share the absolute perfect items I’ve found for traveling and relocating. So, if you are thinking about moving abroad, or if you’re just prepping for your next big trip, this post is definitely for you! 🙂

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 Família and Park Güell 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.

With a neutral color palette and a clean layout, this version creates a focused space for planning your move abroad.
