Hi everyone,

I promised to write once I had settled, so here is a long overdue message from Barcelona. Since I had arrived in September, the city has surprised me in ways guidebooks had never mentioned.

Work at the design studio has been intense but rewarding. My team has completed three campaigns since the New Year, including one project that had started before I had joined. Clients have responded well to concepts we had refined during late-night brainstorming sessions.

Living by the sea has changed my routines. I have run along the beach every morning since October, even on days when rain had made the path slippery. That habit has replaced gym sessions I had paid for but had rarely attended in London.

Have I improved my Spanish? Slowly, yes. Evening classes have helped, though I have still mixed up tenses when conversations have moved quickly. Colleagues have been patient, and shopkeepers have corrected me with smiles I have learned to welcome.

Social life has expanded since I had joined a climbing group. Members have introduced trails outside the city that tourists had overlooked. Last month we had reached a summit where the view had stretched toward France on a clear day.

Food has been a constant adventure. I have tried dishes my grandmother had cooked differently back home. Markets near my flat have sold produce I had never seen before I had moved abroad.

Homesickness has appeared in waves. Video calls have connected me to family events I had missed, including a nephew's birthday party everyone had described for days afterward. Those moments have reminded me why I had chosen this experience despite the distance.

Finances have required discipline. Rent has consumed more than I had budgeted initially, yet freelance projects have supplemented my salary since spring. I have tracked expenses in an app I had downloaded before leaving the UK.

Travel opportunities have multiplied. I have visited Girona and Valencia on weekends when train tickets had been affordable. Each trip has offered stories I have shared in our group chat since January.

Please visit when you have time. Guest room shelves have waited for souvenirs I have collected for you. Barcelona has become a home I had not expected to love this quickly.

Abrazos,
Ines

P.S. I have attached photos from Sant Jordi day when the streets had filled with roses and books.
