At least you're in an amazing city in a wonderful country. I live in Philadelphia, where you run the risk of being robbed at gun point after the sun sets. You have two choices of life in America: unsafe cities or drab car dependent suburbs. Be thankful you live in Western Europe, a much safer and frankly civilized part of the world. Life could be worse, you could live in the USA.
Yes I am definitely grateful to live here! I lived in Washington DC for half a year, I felt like that was a safe city no?
You live in the USA, why the heck are you complaining?? You living in Philly bro? Boo hoo,move then.
Whatever Barcelona is 🗑️
@@Claireradusha99 United States is extremely unsafe. Against gangs not even rifles will help you much.
@@MoreLife_ArisAmericans are imperialsts
It's great that you're sharing, but the title of the video is very misleading. I'm looking to possibly move to Barcelona and this has nothing to do with Barcelona sucking and everything to do with your own personal issues that have nothing to do with Barca. Again, that's fine, just don't title the video to make me expect otherwise. I was watching and waiting to hear how Barcelona possibly contributed to this lifestyle of yours, but not even that.
Thanks for the feedback! Sorry I was new to UA-cam and fell into the click bait trap… but Barcelona is an amazing city! I have multiple videos on my channel about Barcelona if you’re interested, of which one with a couple of tips for expats! Hope you can find something there 🤞🏼
I'm from Barcelona and I can relate! Working from home has made me less active and less inclined to get out and do new stuff. Unsurprisingly however, the city has plenty to do, activities and people to meet, it just feels hard to do the first step.
It’s exactly that! Since I published this video, I forced myself to go out more and I feel so much better already! I was really able to pintpoint that the problem for me was staying inside all of the time… thanks for the feedback ☺️☺️☺️
@@MoreLife_Aris How is it goining now? I was thinking maybe it was just because it was winter and because of the cold you rather wanted to be inside? I have this problem in the Netherlands when it gets cold.
@benchokwaiman actually when I moved it was around spring and summer so at the time it wasn’t weather related haha Now i have moved here nearly 2 years ago and it goed much better! I still need to work alot on myself but yeah much better now! En ik ben van België dus Nederlands kan ook ;)
Thank you so much for sharing your journey, I loved hearing about how you reflected upon you as a person. That in itself is something to appreciate. The sense of awareness you have about yourself. To me it looks like you are off to a great start! Although it might not have been as expected, I can see you are trying your best and that’s all that matters 💙
Than you very much! That’s exactly it, I think it is important to always reflect on things ☺️
As many have pointed out - including you - the problem isn't Barcelona but you're own depression. I've been here 2.5 years and love every minute of it. I ride my bicycle all over the city (and outside the city). Every morning and evening I walk my dogs through my neighborhood or take them to the beach. I joined a cycling club and established friendships. I also work from home, so you have to actually make an effort to get out and meet people. But this is true every place you would live.
100% correct! I had to made this video to realise it haha discovered fundamental flaws that only showed up after leaving the comfort of living in the country I grew up in! Thanks for the comment btw 🙌🏼
honestly, it is very simple: If you live in a sunny place, you always feel obligated to do things outside and you feel bad spending time indoors. If you live in a rainy, colder place, it doesn't make you feel bad when you spend some time inside. Working from home only works in rainy places in my opinion, if you live in sunny places, you should always work outdoors ;)
That is 100% accurate hahah I like that conclusion haha
Sorry but this title is clearly a clickbait... you basically said yourself why you don't like so much your current life, which is basically cause you spend too much time at home and feel alone cause you don't know anyone in the city. Which is 100% understandable, we've all been there, but Barcelona has many events where you can meet people and so many places worth visiting and learning about. So go out and open yourself!
And by the way, the bunkers used to be a quiet place 10-15 years ago, and now it's a bit scary how crowded it is...
That is fair enough! Still new on this platform, hope the video did not disappoint too much! ☺️ Yeah I have been trying to do that more the last couple of weeks and I already notice a huge difference! Now I need to learn and do more of this, I also think that joining a class or a sports team might help too!
Not wanting to do the things you normally like to do is a little-known sign of depression. The key is to identify what is the CAUSE of that condition.
For me I noticed it was a sort of burnout! The big move, finding an apartment, start a new job etc… just exhausted me mentally! But now I feel muchhh better here!! 🙌🏼
@@MoreLife_Aris Honestly, it sounded like you were just feeling lonely. Not having people to do stuff with has its way of killing the vibe. And sure, being alone doesn't necessarily imply loneliness, but... it usually does. Glad you feel better now!
P. S. Maybe I'm just reading into this because I'm thinking about moving there myself and am kinda worried about not being able to find a tribe.
That was definetly a big part of the issue! But I am not the best at making new friends either haha I have had the same 6 friends for 15 years so Yeah…. But Barcelona has tons of possibilities to meet new people!!
Great vid man! Moving to Barcelona is a huge life goal of mine, so don't forget to appreciate as to how far you've come already 😁
Thank you man! Honestly, it is exactly how you said: it feels amazing to know that I have come as far as actually moving here after years of talking about it! 😍 Now I just want to make sure that I take full advantage of that!!
Ps: if you have any questions about moving here, I can help you!
yea, i also want to move to barcelona, So tired of my country (sweden).
I mean Barcelona is Amazing! (Just the weather does alot, this was filmed 2 days ago and it was so sunny)! But I would think that Sweden is also amazing,no? Where from Sweden are you from?
Hey Aris, I understand your situation. I also work from home so I can relate to that feeling. You're living in a great place but you need to put some effort in meeting the locals or fellow expats.
Start a Catalan or Spanish course, a cooking class, learn about the culture, be active about it, people are not gonna knock on your door to take out of your comfort zone ;)
Yeah it’s exactly what I started doing, went to a basketball court in a park to go talk to random people and ask to play with them and now I go play every week hehe It’s much more fun to live here now haha
you have gained a new subscriber I like your style of videos keep it going king, I'm excited for the new adventures and the excellent videography that you make
Thank you so so much!! I'll continue then :) Thanks for you encouraging words, I will try to keep up the pace of posting every week! Hope to see you in the next video then ;)
One thing i loved about it during my travels is that theres always something interesting to do and places to explore. The only thing that keeps me from moving there is the same thing, I love being inside, even though if I will have the possibility to move it will worth a try at least.
Yes I think a lot of us are liek this haha Just this weekend I had to force myself to get out of my apartment to go to a small concert but once I was there I really loved it and felt way better :) Sometimes we just need to really push ourselves!
i lived in barcelona for 7 years since i was born, i miss it there since i now live in the uk and miss living in the city and being able to walk through it
I get that… it is my favorite part of living here! Getting everywhere by bike or by foot!!
@@MoreLife_Aris its a lot easier than having to go by car to the centre
I've literally haven't been outside of my place for 3 weeks :S this is a guy who used to organize events and was the life of the party. I'm not exactly sure what changed in me, but I have zero interest in people or what they have to bring to my life. I have everything I need at home, and if I go out it's to do grocery shopping. Even stopped going for walks, which i'm trying to push myself to do more of.
Wow 3 weeks is a lot! It sounds like you might be stuck in a viscious circle where you don't have the mental energy to go outside so you stay inside, but staying inside gives you even less mental energy... Or at least that is how it was for me in the last weeks haha
Hi Aris! I also moved to Barcelona some months ago, and I can relate with this a lot! I used to live in a small village in Italy, where during covid I rediscovered what it means to be surrounded by friends and people who knows you and where you don't really have to make an effort to have a social life. Lemme know if you'd like to grab a beer or something! Let's connect!
Heyy Quentin! Thanks for your comment! Are you currently in Barcelona then?
@@MoreLife_Aris Hey! Yes
Can’t even go to bunkers any more
You can but not after a certain time of the day indeed :/
Your travel tips are invaluable for anyone planning their own journey. Thanks for being such a helpful guide!
My pleasure!! Glad it helps 😇
If I'm in a foreign city I use meetups. They can be a hit or miss but usually it's a nice vibe. Maybe invite your coworkers for after work drinks or a game, I love Spain because people are not shy and like to socialise
Yessss some people told me me about meet up but it just feels un natural and forced hahah
Hi! I moved to Barcelona 6 months ago and I can relate a lot. I work from home and ever since I feel like I have become old. Being in my 20s I should be meeting new people and going out all day, but instead I'm home all day!! Do you have a community in Barcelona? Let's connect!
Sorryyy I missed this comment it would seem :O where did you move from?? I don’t have a community but ever since I started playing basketbal at the park I have found a motivation to step out of the house and that really helped! Hit me up on IG!?
Barev dzes Aris! Thanks for the video! I'm about to move to Barcelona and also have that problem with staying inside most of the time. I'm working remotely for more than 10 years already, even before that became a bigger trend. And I think Barcelona can be the best chance to change something in the lifestyle because there are many places you can work in, like cafes and coworking spaces, and there is so much to see apart from work. And also it's important that the city has a developed transportation system and it is quite flat in the majority of its area. If you ever lived in Istanbul, Lisbon or San Francisco that are literally located on hills you know why I'm stressing this as a great advantage. I'm quite optimistic about Barcelona when it comes to balanced lifestyle for remote workers.
Thank you very much! I think you are going to love it here! The infrastructure here is great and I really recommend you to take a bike or something like that because in my opinion that is the best way to move around :D And appart from th north part of Gracia all the rest is pretty flat indeed ;) Let me know if you have any questiosn about moving here, I am more than happy to help ;)
@@MoreLife_Aris thanks for replying! what do you think about bike theft and overall theft issues? I heard quite a lot of stories related to theft in Barcelona and Spain in general.
I think that is definitely a thing in Barcelona! I myself am lucky enough to not have had anything stolen from me but I am very aware of it when I am in crowded places like the metro for example! Regarding the bikes: I only use the city bikes called “bicing/SMOU” so that I don’t have to worry about my bike getting stolen haha
@@alexyeskov7601 Theft capital of Europe, be very careful. Carry your wallet in your front pocket, never leave anything outside, espcially your bike! It's a dump of a city.
Amazing content! Immediate sub! Saw you replying to a lot of the previous comments and instantly made me write this one.. Some context about the question: fully remote worker wanting to move to barcelona or another city in europe like warsaw, lisbon, helsinki and a couple of other but reallyyyyy leaning more towards barcelona. Are you happy with your decision? I saw your content, the trip to iceland and overall focus on - doing more outside of the home office - and thats my plan as well. So, if you would choose all over again.. still barcelona?
Heyy!! Definitely I try to reply to all of them! I love seeing them coming haha So I made this video more than a year ago and honestly I feel much more happy about the home/life balance but there is still much more development needed… but this is a very personal thing! If you re less lazy than I am (or awkward) then Barcelona had tons of possibilities to have an interesting life outside your home! I never regretted my move to Barcelona so I would definitely recommend it! You just need to understand that this is “city life” and need to be open to that haha but the life here is great and affordable! (Except rent which is expensive compared to the rest haha) hope this helps! If you move here let’s meet up!! And thanks for the sub!
I can relate I moved to a town in England and haven't gone out much so will use your videos as inspiration.
Yeah!! It took me a while to find an activity to motivate myself to go out but wow my mental health is so much better now when I go play basketbal or just go to the office even hahah the comute even is enough sometimes! Good luck!
I am really interested to know how do you make and edit your videos.
There are few youtube videos you really enjoy watching and this videos is indeed one of them.
If it’s possible, please make a video of how you edit and what applications do you use for this purpose.
Appreciate your work bro.
Keep it up & see you on Top.❤️
Wowww thanks so much for the compliment! But I am a beginner myself so I would not feel comfortable making a tutorial about something I have not mastered haha but if you have questions feel free to ask me! ☺️☺️
I use Davinci Resolve for editing and music comes from Artlist ☺️ Then I also bought a « Master pack » of effects, textures and transitions from Blindusk ;)
cool video hope ur account takes off soon this is quality stuff
Thank you so much!!
Really clever and cool editing. We are looking at moving to Barcelona. We’ve been living in London and we have the exact feeling you do living here. So it’s not the city, it’s the new challenges. Except in London it’s cold, grey, miserable, insanely expensive and the people are horribly unfriendly. And then pollution and lack of beaches, palm trees and social life really has got us down
It’s exactly that!! I still recommend moving here! But I need to warn about polution and poor air quality here too haha but SO MUCH SUN 😍
I was just in London a few weeks ago and was stunned by how expensive it was. At first I looked at the prices and I thought, "Oh, euros! Not so bad." Then my brain reminded me, "No, pound sterling." Then I freaked out. Glanced at apartment rental prices and had flashbacks to San Francisco. So, yeah, Barcelona feeling pretty good at the moment, though I completely sympathize for many residents that the city is getting more and more expensive to live in relative to wages.
100%
Great video, and it brings up a critical topic, which is can someone have a true self-reflection of what makes them happy and keeps them at peace inside themselves. The most critical thing is to honestly answer or find out which one of these two types of people you are: 1) You need to take energy from others (extrovert) and are not happy unless you spend some sort of time around other people interacting OR 2) You do not require energy from others in order to be happy (and this can apply to isolationists to introverts to people who feel the same whether in social circles or being alone).
I live in America in a gorgeous custom-made house in the suburbs. I am retired go to Europe all the time. I often dream of moving to places like Barcelona or Florence or whatever. The issue is I do an actual self-analysis and the social structure that most often revolves around alcohol consumption or 9pm food binges for 2-3 hrs is simply not my style.
I like early mornings and walks/hikes, nature things, bicycles, etc. The advantage for that type of activity is just as good in America then Europe. So bottom line is everyone should do a self-analysis. Unfortunately for me I want my cake and eat it to which would be: November - March Orlando, FL; April-May Barcelona/Florence; June-August Swiss Mountains or San Sebastian or someplace cool in the US like Oregon Coast/Utah/Colorado mountains; Sept-Oct back to Barcelona/Florence. HA
There is no perfect place, so if you do find out you do not need to take energy from people to be happy, then do not let social stigma confuse you for years on end and instead embrace the fact you can be happy inside/outside in a mountain area, in downtown Barcelona or on a boat sailing the seas or in an RV camping. When you see videos like this where all of those people had to travel to the top of that hill to meet up with strangers to drink/smoke in order to satisfy some emotional bonding need embrace and feel happy for them that they like that but do not feel weird if that is not your style or something you must have to feel happy with your own life.
Thanks for the comment Eddy! It’s great to sez that my video can spark train of thoughts like this one 🥰 Moving here definetly made me think more about what I needee in life, and I have been expliring that here with my partner for nearly 2 years now and although at the start it was tough… now we can’t picture our lives any other way!
You found the key to a happy life. Moving around the whole year to different places around the world. I used to do that when I was single and with my girlfriend before we had a kid. With a kid that needs to go to school and have a stable life it becomes impossible to scratch that itch so I must say life with a kid is very itchy.
@benchokwaiman yes I can only imagine how hard it is with a kid… I hope you can find a way though!
maybe rent a desk space at a coworking for a couple or three days a week, there is a lot of people in a similar situation for sure
I thought about that but then I know myself... I will be too awkward to start talking to random people there haha Definetly something I need to work on!
I was in vacation and just came back. What i didnt like about Barcelona was the concrete jungle the lack of nature and the super urbanisation. I went outside daily and yeah it felt good mostly but not like all the time. There is nature on the hills and everything but there are surprisingly few things to actually do that dont cost money. In my town, there are more things probably because also the feeling of concrete everywhere is much lessened. For a big city Barcelona doesnt seem very diverse. I mean sure there are some things to do but its more like in the same range i feel. For a person staying there i guess you can join clubs and everything and the options diversify. As a tourist though there literally isnt anything to do other than shop, eat at a restaurant or bar and walk, thats preety much it. I guess that is the experience as a tourist preety much everywhere, still i feel my city has more free events and things to do even if its a smaller one.
What i also didnt like sometimes was the scores of people everywhere. Also in bars there wasnt much music and never heard like music in the streets with very few street artists, and when they were there wasnt any bench to sit on. Surprisingly in my city there are more benches and you can listen to music while you go to the piata. i liked the dynamic nature but if you really look into it there arent many interesting urban spaces in Barcelona at close by. Sure, there are if you walk or drive but then you are in a totally different place and no its not really like that in my city i can go there and find interesting places.
Also the way streets are organised its the same pattern. Its great because its predictable and you know what it is and have easy access but after a while its just boring. It would be less boring if smaller buildings were there. you can find smaller buildings like in Saint Andrieu but its a distance. I guess if you are not bothered to move so much the experience changes. Still even with the metro or car it would take some time through the trafic.
It has a different feel to it. But yeah to stay inside in Barcelona is like crazy because then in small apartments there really isnt anything to do and it just double sucks.
Being a big city i felt kinda a pressure to do something to be on the move...
Woww now I wonder where you live?? 😍 I’ll be honest, this surprises me because I really never had that “concrete jungle” feeling here! Mainly because of all of the amazing architecture hehe but at the same I understand what you mean! But I can’t think of any big city that has more nature or less concrete? I actually think the ratio is not bad at all haha I do agree about street performers though!! There could be more 🥰
@@MoreLife_Aris im from Timisoara and yeah if you think its enaugh nature then cool, i guess it depends where you lived and how you got used to it. For me i dont like that there is no grass everywhere, here it is. no river in the city, here it is. in barcelona i havent heard any bar putting music so i can hear it from the street here i heard from day 1 and its a smaller city. there are many good things in Barcelona for sure, i mean even with those limits i liked the time spent there a lot and had fun, its a fun engaging city, dynamic with some nice people, friendly, interesting...and its refreshing that i dont think anyone was rude which is rare considering that invariably you have to meet some not so ok people in a big city but it wasnt like that. i mean sure they are, but havent experienced them. i imagine that if you are ok with the level of nature, the concrete jungle, then you are great. surely as a person living there its a different experience than as of a tourist which has a limited range. what i would have liked? more things to be open. surprisingly a lot of stuff was closed. even some interesting museums had like 10% of the museum open, it was great but too little. still im not complaining it was a great vacation.
I guess cities suffer nowdays not just barcelona with a lack of meaningfull activities. maybe because i was a tourist, but still i do think there could be more in Barcelona and it isnt like its such a full of music city for example. i was also 2 years ago and kinda the same thing, the music was not playing. Here for example there is more loud music, there is even street music from the bars that changes things.
I dont know i guess i like that type of things getting used to it. There was a show in Barcelona but honestly here they make better shows like with artists if they prepare for an event, the spanish style is well, different i guess. The music wasnt that great, maybe its just my perception...
The carnival in Barcelona was great though.
All in all i come to see what is good in one city and in another one and came to the conclusion that really my city has some complementary things from Barcelona and yeah some big minuses too.
Another thing, its very hard to find a toilet in Barcelona a public one, here there are.
What i also didnt particularly like was that walking areas were so full of people like on La Rambla and Placa de Catalonya that its not so nice to walk as it could be. Also on the beach tons of people want to sell you smth and you have to move further away from them to escape the marketing. Here no one is coming on the street to sell you smth.
Yeah the architecture in Barcelona is something, a small problem is that im not used to big buildings and many times cant fully appreciate all the details because the building is too big.
Yet again its subjective. In eastern europe here there is a different style and many people might not like it, plus the city my city has many minuses compared to Barcelona but ive discovered also some plusses.
I just had a look at some pictures of your city and it looks amazing! I get what you mean now, there is indeed a big difference in terms of nature etc… I mean I will always want more nature here in Barcelona for sure! I often go on Tibidabo for hikes (small mountain) to reconnect!!
@@MoreLife_Aris yeah thats what i mean i guess it depends how you are used to the nature, if its close by or have to scroll through the city to get to it. in Barcelona in many areas you rarely see a big patch of land. I guess the draught also contributed to it. i like barcelona a lot and will certainly come to visit more. i think barcelona has some areas with wide boulevards that are too wide and could be reconverted at least a part of them to patches of land in which to be more nature and to let the grass grow more, makes a difference
Belgian here I used to live in Barcelona for 6 years absolutely love it I the beginning... After the Covid pandemic I knew it was time to go to another chapter of my life after a few months in France (near Montpellier) I decide to come back to Spain but...in Madrid and I definitely love living here. Barcelona lost its soul lost its creativity victim of over exposition and mass tourism. Madrid is more a vibe and now the city is sparkling. Most of my friends also left the city. I still love to come back to Barcelona but if you ask me "should you come back to live there?" the answer is "Definitely not !"
Ohhhh another Belgian!!! Welcome haha is Madrid really that much better?? I have heard a couple of people saying this hahq
@@MoreLife_Aris Yes Madrid is an amazing city. Great food, an amazing nightlife, blue skies, a lot of parks, a lively art scene and friendly local people. The downsides are hot summers and cold winters because of the situation of the city set in the middle of la Sierra and surrounded by mountains but it is clearly manageable and you are just a few hours from Barcelona and Valencia thanos to HST. Barcelona is a gorgeous city but Madrid is a vibe. You should definitely visit it but it is not a kept secret anymore.more and more people are moving to Madrid now and this city is really cosmopolitan.
I hope you have recovered from "post-Covid-blues" and enjoying this vibrant city.
I have now!! ☺️☺️🫣 Thank you so much!
I told you I would find it jaajjaaj amazing video 👌🏻
Hahaha wowwww…. WELCOME!
Expat 🇬🇧🇺🇲 lives in Cali Colombia on $1500 a month..great food nice people Safe great weather..No Tourists
Works for me 👍
Sounds amazing!! Yeah well Barcelona sounds similar to Cali Colombia then except for LOADS of tourists haha
immigrant*
Yes there are loads of immigrants like myself but I was referring to holiday tourists 😂
I lived in Barcelona for a few years and… soooooo boring and locals are the worse
Wow I am not sure I experienced this to be honest haha Everyone has been very nice to me until now ☺️
@@MoreLife_Aris They are nice to anyone with money.
Well there are sport societies...I was in Paraguay, Spain etc. Always got to know lots of people that way.
Yeah I actually started playing basketball near my place and made a friend there hehe!
Everybody I know that lives in Barcelona has either moved to the periphery or is in the process of doing so. No local wants to actually live there.
Yeah… that is also true indeed
I can relate. I lived in Barcelona during the pandemic for one year. Afterwards I found I had to push myself to go out sometimes. So a few things I did where I ended up meeting new people: went to Meet-Ups that I was interested in, joined a language school for Spanish classes, and went to some of the cannabis clubs that host local events (like yoga). Buena suerte!
Hahah not sure about the canabis club for me but the rest 100%! I am also forcing myself to film youtube videos every week to make sure I don’t just stay home haha
Interesting perspective. It's relatable. Working on having a quality social life in Barcelona. Perhaps we can meet
Ohhh are you from here or did you move here as well? 😇
Looks like a beautiful city thank you for sharing
It really is!! 🙌🏼
Hey! I've moved for my ex-girlfriend now to the Helsinki, Finland. I had exactly same feelings like you, but even it was harder, bc outside activities, were not possible bc of cold. Now would love to move to Barcelona. When I get there, lets catch out. I'm in exactly same point in my live haha and looking for valuable ppl. Cheers Man!
Are you moving to Barcelona ? 😇
@@MoreLife_Aris Yeah planning to move, I'm running software company in Finland, want to change system for remote system and then move to Barcelona ;))
Sounds like a great plan to me to be honest hahah I would just say that Barcelona might feel crowded after living in Finland 😅
Great video
Thank you very much! This is encouraging, as I just recently started to post regularly on this channel so thank you very much!!
Y'all had Messi tho
Hahaha yes!
I moved like 8months ago and on my free time I stay inside, mostly :D I've been on like 2 festivals, couple of dates and explored the city, that's all. I guess it's not for me, being an introvert and all. But food is amazing!
2 festivals tho!! Nice that’s 2 more than me haha They are not really my thing personally I get very uncomfortable in big groups of people haha
@@MoreLife_Aris Yeah, it could be...but honestly, it's very easy to blend with everything and just enjoy the music, the rest disappears. I know I'm there for the music, everything else fades away, or adds to the vibe, if it's good.
name of the intro music，many thx plz

Home office is cool if you live in a small town nearby Barcelona.
Which hometowns are cool to live in near Barcelona?? If you were to buy a house near Barcelona but still outside, where would that be? Haha
@@MoreLife_Aris I live in Castellar del Vallès wich is ten minutes from Sabadell. It's quiet and not far from Barcelona (half and hour)
Where are your new videos?
I have stopped posting for a while but I am working on a series of new videos coming soon!!
Barcelona sucks in many aspects but not in meeting a human ;). The life there was for me tough from the other perspective - too many humans , too many crowds. It is cool for a visit though. But that of course depends on one's preferences. In any case it is good place to have people around it is the place to be. I lived in Barcelona previously also over 15 years ago and it was a different city. Now it feels like a funpark. Go out and get around other humans ! :)
It is indeed very crowded! 😅 Now after 1 year, I am starting to enjoy it more and more every day! Especially now with summer approaching ☺️
proposed title correction: I don’t know how to enjoy myself in barcelona 😄
Hahah fair enough 😅
i’m sure by now you’re a pro at enjoying yourself in barcelona 😊😉
@@MoreLife_Arisvisited my friend for the first time in Barcelona, just gone back to London and already planning to move there by the end of the year. Even if it’s smaller, seems like Barcelona is more “alive” and got more “soul” than London, felt in love, people on the street would just say “Hola” when in London it’s something very very very strange and rare 🤣
Ps. You should continue with your channel, it’s all amazing!
I’ve gotten better that is for sure!! 😇
Thank you! And yeah Barcelona is a great city to live in! I will say though that I don’t know where you were where people where randomly saying hola to you in the streets haha hasn’t happened to me yet I think 😂
Link to the video on how do you make money and afford to live this lifestyle?
Hey :) I looked for a job in Barcelona in my field (Digital Marketing) which allowed me to earn a living and get registered as a resident here in Spain ;)
I loved barcelona now i m sad that i leaved this city
I love it too now!! Hahah
you have a new catalan subscriber :D
Awww amazing!!! That makes me very happy thank you! I hope I don’t disappoint the locals then 😇
omg. i literally had a conversation with 3 other co-workers today and we all agreed that Barcelone was overrated and we didnt like it. UA-cam must be listening to my conversations.
Haha noo Barcelona is great! I was the problem haha
Makker! Richting rembrand op vrijdagavond en je ontmoet enkel Nederlanders en Belgen :D yeew!
Hahaah the problem "it is me" .... I like the content and the video editing.... you gotta meet new people and make new friends
Thank you!!! Yessss I have now and it is already much better!
Are you still in barcelona ???
Yess 🙌🏼
I'm a foreign student in Barcelona since September and even if I live in a small room and can totally relate to what you're saying
Ahhh very nice!! How do you like it so far?
Marbella & Malaga area is a much better choice
Haha good to know! But just moved here so I am gonna give it a shot 😅
WHERE ARE THE NEW VLOGS
Hahaha to be honest I stopped posting here and created a new channel in my native language (French)
Why are you playing Cuban music?. That's NOT music from Spain
Hahah I know but I just liked the music 😇
Well, since the government is closing the bunkers, I think the title is beginning to come true
Yeah… I mean I get it for the locals to be honest but it’s such a great spot…
I think you are an extremely lucky and privileged person, there are people like me who are literally living in hell. I live in Segovia, Spain a city where you go out in the street and it smells rotten and almost everything is full of shit and dirty because it is all semi abandoned. it is quite like a ghetto.
Wowww really? How come though?
I teach you a new word: indoor 😊
Damn… not «indoors » then I guess? Haha
a rich kid things, always a fun time
Oh yeah that’s 100% correct you’re right! Did not mean to claim I had it bad, I know how good my life is! Just sometimes feel like I am not taking full advantage of it…
I agree with you though Barcelona favours a certain type of person. People who are lost and aimless. If you have a strong sense of direction and know how you want to grow I feel you’ll have a hard time finding your people here.
Unless your interpretation of growth is holistic “personal development” and meditation or whatever then yeah your “tribe” will be here lol
Wow that is a deep comment haha but yes! I see exactly what you mean!
The title has nothing to do with the content. What a painful way to attract visitors...
Sorry if it disapointed you :/ For me this title represented my internal struggle with my new life in Barcelona and the fact that it took me a while to realise that moving to Barcelona made me realise things that I did not like about my life 😅
you armenian?
Yes!!
Go to the gym, you will feel much better.
Yeah not much of a Gym guy but a team sport would definetly help! :)
Im in the same page bro 😂 let’s do something.
Hahah also in Barcelona??
Barcelona is a land of opportunity for everyone who wants to hang out. Not your case obviously
No that's entirely right! Just like I said in the video, it clearly is a "me" problem and has nothing to do with the city but Barcelona was the trigger for me to realise that about myself haha
You are either delusional, Spanish or a tourist who has just arrived.
you have a freaking gyatt man
Lol hahah
Why he so thicc tho? Just look at when he get off the bike. 🤣😬
😅
Visit segovia, Spain if you want to visit the real hell and the dirtiest city in europe!
That bad??
ive been here one day and know it sucks lol
Hahahah nooo you really don’t like it?
We are in barce too,it's cool and cold too.hahaha
@ Aris Arakelian haha its ok
@ Rey Star que tal
Clickbait. Boi you gotta stop lying
Haha sorry to have disappointed!
Barcelona is a boring place to be honest unless you wanna do some art or cultural studies etc.
Well now after more than 1 year here and some social life I like it! Haha
"i feel guilty for not going outside more but me and my girlfriend made the home to comfortable" - an Introvert in denial

Is it possible to find genuine girlfriend without money in barcelona?😢
Wait what do you mean? You mean that dating is too expensive here?
@@MoreLife_Aris i dont know , i m from india 25 years age single ,wanted to move Barcelona....thaswhy i m asking that if i work there in an unskilled jobs ...is it possible for me to get into relation?
@acbc6787 sooo I am not sure how much of a cost a relationship would be haha but here is what I know! Barcelona’s rent is expensive, if you were to rent a room in a shared appartement it would be somewhere between 500-700€ per month! Now in my standards (coming from Belgium) the food, activities and transport are rather cheap! But again this is based on my previous life in a quite expensive country in Belgium! Haha hope this helps!
@@MoreLife_Aris can we easily get one night stand? 😃
Stop whining.......
Hahaha damn ruthless 😂 I’ll do my best!
Try to learn Spanish.
Yes! I am finally gonna take lessons… this is definetly a huge opportunity for me to get more out there and meet people!
On which visa did you move to Spain and for how much time?
I am from the EU (from Belgium more specifically) so no need for VISA for me 😇
@@MoreLife_Aristhanks mate ❤
Oyeaaah great video, working from home is horrible. Change it if possible 😂🫡🤙🏾
Thank you so much! Honestly, there are loads of good aspects to working from home as well but I think that just because it is a new city and kindof a new life for me... I really miss the social contact of working in an office haha
@@MoreLife_Aris aaaa yayaya
