From Barcelona: Surviving the first-year-blues in the city
Being away from friends and family is always hard in the first year despite all the merry making. Blogger Jeremy Holland talks about how he dealt with his occasional pangs of homesickness.As most of us who have up and moved to Barcelona can attest, the life of an expat is full of ups and downs, especially during the first year.
There were days that seemed to validate our decision to come here, and other times that probably had us contemplating either moving back or trying some place new.
Yet, we didn't, and as the time passed, we found ourselves more settled and at home with more good days than bad.
I remember the first few months as full of excitement where everything was new and fresh.
Two in the morning no longer signalled the end of evening and conversations no longer started with "What do you do?" but rather "Where are you from?"
Dancing the night away in with my new-found friends who came from all over the world, we revelled in the moment and it truly seemed like there was a new adventure awaiting every time I stepped out my flat.
The life, the people, the energy were unlike anything back home, and best of all, I didn't have to drive!
F the ¨first year blues¨...what about the ¨five year blues¨???? LOL in this backward ass country...Es Lo Que Hay!
