1. What’s the thing you like the most about Barcelona?
The accessibility to cultural events and happenings, not to mention the climate.
2. And the thing you like the least?
The inefficiency in the administrative and bureaucratic departments.
3. Do you miss anything from home?
Mostly my friends and family.
4. Can you recommend us an American film?
Traffic by Steven Soderbourgh.
5. Can you recommend us an American book?
The Omnivore´s Dilemma by Michael Pollack.
6. Can you recommend us an American music band?
This list is endless but some of my favorites include Sam Cooke, Jimi Hendrix, Pearl Jam and Outkast.
7. What’s your favourite spot in Barcelona?
I have yet to name it but I love discovering quaint, charming bars and restaurants throughout the city.
8. Do you do something here that you couldn’t possibly do at home?
Teaching dance classes until 10 pm does not happen where I live. The ability to travel so easily to the rest of Europe is also not an option. And living comfortably without a car and still being able to go anywhere in the city would be unimaginable in my hometown.
9. Is there anything you did back at home that you can’t possibly do now?
Have the option to eat whatever type of food I fancy. There aren´t too many international restaurants here.
10. Any tip for an American wishing to visit or settle down in Barcelona? And, any tip for a person from Barcelona wishing to visit or settle down in the United States?
Get a visa!!!!
If going to the US, be prepared for a complete change of day to day schedule. We don´t have dinner at 1030 pm :)
