Today is the first day of our new Spanish adventu

Today is the first day of our new Spanish adventure. I never really told you why we have moved to Spain and what our future will look like, so let’s change that!

Arne has been working on projects in Spain for the last three years already. He builds student housing residences all over the country.

Well he doesn’t actually build them. He monitors the complete development process from A to Z, manages the contractors and architects and sets up the operational management.

He goes from 1 to 3 projects and can no longer follow up all projects from Belgium, so that’s why we moved to Madrid.

Madrid is the most central city to live in and the easiest way to get around smoothly by public transport.

I got many questions about what I will be doing here. Luckily I have the sweetest boss who is willing to give me the chance to work remotely from Spain, I will no longer work as an employee but as a freelancer. Besides my normal job, I will continue blogging and of course manage my @beyoftravelshop.

As from tomorrow we both will start our normal routine from Belgium here in Spain. We will also start learning Spanish in evening classes twice a week.

The plan is to be living in Spain for the two upcoming years...

Oooh by the way if anybody is looking for a house to rent in Berchem (Antwerp) don’t hesitate to contact us!

This is a picture from last year, because I left my camera on the plane. 😅

In two weeks I will be leaving to Madrid...

To be honest I have been ignoring the fact that I will be spending so much time in Spain... But as the date is getting closer and I really need to start planning, I can no longer ignore this big step in our lives...

So many friend are telling me this will be a unique opportunity and I will have the time of my Life.

To be honest... It scares the sh*t out of me for multiple reasons...

I see my sister every week...she is always there and I can’t imagine my life without her. The fact that we don’t even know when she will be able to travel again and visit me only makes it harder...

We are still figuring out all the administrative aspects of living part time abroad...

We need to start learning Spanish ASAP (really looking forward to this, I have wanted to learn Spanish for ages)

Of course we will be returning to Belgium a lot... but with the current quarantaine rules it is not so easy to start making a planning 😅

The one thing I do know is that I will be very happy to be reunited again with my husband, I never thought I would miss him this much....

A lot of women are raising their voices the last couple of days...

And I think it’s the right time for raising my voice as well. Although
this topic is super sensitive for me, a topic I normally prefer not to talk about...

But I just have to... Three of my closest friends have been the victim of sexual assault. Three! That’s an insane number if you keep in mind that I can count my best friends on two hands. I myself have been a victim as well...

I am still scared when I walk on the street alone at night. It was a nightmare when I was working those crazy shifts at the airport and I had to look for my car in the middle of the night in my uniform. It was always such a relief when I got in the car and I could lock the door... It still is a relief, even after all those years...

I also know men who have been the victim of sexual assaults... I’m not here to talk sh*t about men nor women. I am here to spread awareness, to ask you to think before you act. If a woman or a man says no, guess what... It really means NO!

Let’s all have respect for one another, raise your voice, protect each other, care for each other and help each other!

For all those who have been abused, I feel your pain... But remember you are not alone... Let’s make the world a better place by being kind. Because you know by the end of the day love always wins 💕

Day dreaming 💭 ☀️

This shot was taken by the lovely
@veggiewayfarer last summer in Rome. Although our alarms went off around 5am each morning we enjoyed our city trip to the fullest. We ate more pizza and gelato than was good for us, wandered through the ancient city, had the best conversations, afternoon naps and enjoyed many Aperol Spritz at the pool!

I wander if we will be able to enjoy trips like these in the upcoming summer... What are your thoughts?

🌸 Spring in Madrid 🌸

Wandering through the streets of the city...the place we will soon call our second home...
A rollercoaster of emotions overwhelmed me the last 24 hours.

We bought (almost) all necessities for the appartement, we discovered the pleasant vibrant neighborhood and we went for a walk through the park. We enjoyed breakfast, lunch and dinner on a sunny terrace.

We made notes of things we still need to ship from Belgium and are looking for a school to learn Spanish as from next month.

We have no clue how things will turn out the upcoming days, weeks, months,...

Everything happened so fast, that we didn’t even had the time to really think things true.

For those who know us a little bit, we don’t really think things through, but this is different, this is big...

I guess only time will tell...

The Pantheon... Rome’s most stunning ancient temple...

Did you know the oculus, also referred as the eye of the Pantheon has a diameter of 8,2 meters? It is the only natural light source in the building.

You can get married inside the Pantheon, a handful of couples do it every year! Many more take the easier option and just get their wedding shots taken outside.... What a place to seal your love! 💗

While in Seville you should definitely visit the Metropol Parasol.

The Metropol Parasol scheme includes an archaeological museum, a farmers market, an elevated plaza, bars and restaurants.

The whole construction is made out of wood by architects J Mayer H. Enjoy a walk on top of the Metropol Parasol (a ticket costs no more than 2 euro) and experience the most beautiful sunset with a magical view over the lovely city!

The botanic garden in Meise is a great place to get away from the daily rush.

With their mission and slogan ‘building a sustainable future through discovery, research and conservation of plants.’ I couldn’t resist checking it out. Enjoy a nice walk in the beautiful green oasis.

But mayyyybe keep in mind that a botanical garden 🪴 may be more fun to do when the flowers are in bloom 🌾
