Far Away but Still So Near

Bon dia des de Catalunya

— Dalma Benčíková
casa batllo

It’s my 11th week in Vic, Barcelona.

During my exchange in Catalonia, I’m slowly discovering the city of Vic, but also the whole region around it. During the weekends I am exploring the area of Barcelona, Girona and many other places.

This week I’ve to Barcelona to see my favourite Gaudi masterpiece Casa Batlló, Port Olympic and some shopping in La Rambla, it was a nice experience to break the Vic routine.  

       

What I love about being in Vic is its location – I have the opportunity to experience the modernism or Barcelona, or the medieval streets of Girona, what helped me to escape into the world of Game of Thrones, even though I have never seen any episode.   

All the cities are different worlds, but Vic sits right in the middle, giving me the chance to experience all of it during my exchange. Living, studying, and travelling here has been one of the most inspiring parts of my time at UVic.
Casa Batlló was just another reminder of how magical Catalonia can be.

Fins aviat!

Wie geht’s, Berlin?

Welcome to my thoughts on my journey through my six-month journey in Berlin, to the city where the trains are cancelled, the clubs never close, and somehow everyone still looks effortlessly cool. I’ll share what it was like to study Film and Motion Design at a private university, survive German winter and million city chaos with only minor emotional damage, and discover the kind of friendships that form when you’re all equally lost in a new country. From concerts to chaotic metro rides, from flea markets to club nights, here’s everything that made my exchange unforgettable, unpredictable, and occasionally a little unhinged in the best possible way.
