Lately, I’ve been thinking on traveling around
the world. There are so many places I’d love to visit! I want to travel to
Asia, Africa and South America, I want to learn new languages, know different
cultures and make new friends… Traveling is so fantastic!
But, at the end of my journey, I want to stay
somewhere, somewhere far from Santiago. Maybe Russia, Czech Republic or France.
Or Spain! Spain sounds great. I went there with my family when I was 16 years
old, and it was an awesome experience. I’m sure it’s a great country to live, and
it would be easy for me to develop, because I already know the language. Spain
is a good country, it has a lot of big cities, like Madrid, Barcelona, Seville,
Bilbao, and many others, so I can choose where I like the most. I think it
would be Barcelona. Barcelona is a city with attitude, it has a lot of night
life because of the bars in La Rambla or La Barceloneta, a great art and
architecture culture (Both gothic/medieval influence and modern, like Tàpies,
Miró and Gaudí), a very good public transport, a lot of places to see (Park
Guell, La Sagrada Familia and Santa María del Mar churches, the Fabra
observatory, etc.) and the most important thing; a great life quality. I would live
near the Rambla (and the metro too), go to the University of Barcelona, and
maybe work half-time in a bar or a restaurant, so I could pay my bills.
So it’s decided: I’m going to Spain.
When I finally settle down there, I would like
to travel around Europe for a while, because there it’s so easy to travel! You
can be in the other side of the continent in less than a day! I would grab a
backpack, put some clothes, a sleeping-bag, an extra pair of boots and some
cash, and just go. From there I would like to go to France, Germany, Switzerland,
Italy, Belgium… There are so many places to go!
