2 Month in Valencia – Episode 4

Valencia Trip – Part 3 (Thursday to Sunday)

Thursday:

Thursday was a bit more on the quiet and personal side. I spent some time reconnecting with people back home in Berlin. In the morning, I had a nice long phone call with my parents. I told them all about what I’ve experienced so far and how life here in Valencia feels different compared to Berlin. After that, I caught up with two friends from Berlin as well. It felt good to stay connected and share what’s been going on. Later that evening, we decided to bake a cake together, the perfect cozy end to a chill day.

Friday:

On Friday, I had a relaxed breakfast before heading out with Ruben and Timur. We took a new path to the beach, one that Timur and Jimmy had discovered earlier. The walk was nice, and once we got to the beach, we just soaked up the sun and chilled. We even stopped at a Burger King that had a view of the ocean, kind of surreal. Afterwards, we went to this massive supermarket that honestly reminded me a lot of Walmart. Total chaos, but kind of cool.

Saturday:

Saturday started with a light breakfast and a bit of series watching, my usual morning vibe lately. Then I headed into the city with Ruben to meet up with Jimmy, Timur, and Flo at a toy store. Yes, a toy store, because why not? After that, we went to an Asian restaurant for lunch, which was super tasty. Flo headed home early, but the rest of us continued wandering around the city, grabbing a few cervezas and cocktails along the way. Great energy, great company.

Sunday:

Sunday was the definition of chill. We didn’t do much at all, just recharged and took it easy. In the evening, we all sat down and watched the second part of Star Wars together, the perfect way to close out the week.

Still no news about our internships, so Thursday ended up being another pretty relaxed day. I went over a few old Udemy courses again, just to keep myself busy. In the evening, I had a phone call with my parents.

With nothing new on the internship, Thaddäus, Ruben, and I decided to walk to the beach. The weather was perfect, and we even browsed through a shop nearby before heading home in the evening.

We spent Saturday in the city center, just walking around and taking it all in. Grabbed lunch at an Asian restaurant – I had rice with curry sauce, which was very good 🙂


Sunday, 20th April 2025
Sunday was all about taking it slow. I stayed in and just relaxed most of the day. In the evening, a couple of us got together and watched Star Wars. So overall it was a chill day 😀

Not much to do since I still dont have my internship yet, but we will see what comes next…

In Between: Learning, Waiting, and a Hint of Easter (Block Entry Nr.4)

In the days that followed, not much changed – I’m still waiting for feedback regarding our internship placements. Still, I didn’t want to let the time pass by unused. So I kept working through some of my old Udemy courses to refresh my knowledge in different areas and keep the sense of doing something meaningful.

At the same time, things got a little festive: Easter was just around the corner. Although the holiday felt different being away from home, we used the occasion to slow down, enjoy some good food, and share a few pleasant moments. Overall, it was a mix of learning, waiting, and taking small breaks – a kind of in-between time that had its own special value.
