About me
About me
I am originally from Albania. I have studied and worked in tourism my whole life (not a very long time, I was born in 1995).
At some point, I knew I needed a change in my life so I decided to travel around. I also lived in Italy for a while after deciding to settle (for now) in Barcelona.
I have a lot of interests like reading, music, hiking, yoga, going to concerts and so on, but as Oscar Wilde said: "To define is to limit", so I'll let you get an idea from my articles.
Why Barcelona
It is the classic story, I moved here in 2017 and fell in love with the city. There are many obvious reasons to love Barcelona, it is indeed one of the most amazing cities in the world. But I fell in love with the less obvious things like the hidden corners, the not so pretty parts, the way people go about their everyday lives and the way the city keeps standing strong despite all the problems it faces. I hope that through my articles I can show you a little part of what I see every day.
Where else can you find me online?

El Tio Che
Horchatas and ice creams since 1912
"El Tio Che" in Poblenou is considered by many locals (including myself!) as the best horchateria in Barcelona. I also think the ice-creams are a must-try.

Cafè Adonis 1940
New favorites
"Cafè Adonis 1940" in Barcelona immediately felt like home. Maybe it's the wooden interior, the staff, the hanging fairy lights, but I just love it there.
