Valencia Trip – (May 19st to 25th)
Monday, 26th May 2025
I finally started working this week! Like I mentioned before, it’s at a gaming internet café where people can rent PCs or consoles to play.
On my first day, I met Oliver and helped reset a PC to factory settings, then reinstalled all the games that were needed. The place i worked on was very cill an had an relexing atmosphere.
Tuesday, 27th – Thursday, 29th May 2025
I kept working during these days, and honestly, I really enjoyed it. I helped build PCs and worked on different small tasks like cleaning.
Meanwhile, everyone else started preparing for the return to Berlin. They were packing, sorting their stuff, and getting things in order and clean.

It was our final full day in Valencia, and like most days recently, I spent the majority of it at work. Once I got back home, I began packing up my things and giving my room one last clean. It all felt a bit surreal like the whole experience was suddenly coming to an end faster than I was ready for. That night, I barely got any sleep. Even though I knew we had an early flight the next morning, my head was spinning with thoughts. I kept drifting through memories: the summer nights, the hilarious, unexpected moments that made the time so special. And yet, there was a part of me that was ready to go home back to Berlin, back to what I know, to my family, my friends, and the comfort of everyday routines I hadn’t realized I missed. Eventually, sleep came… just not for very long.

Departure day. We got up early and caught a taxi to the airport, all still half-asleep but aware this was it the last stretch. Right before we left, I took a final look around the apartment. It was quiet, almost too quiet, and I felt a strange mix of emotions. Looking back, these past two months in Valencia were filled with highs and lows beautiful moments, yes, but also challenges. Living in a new environment with different rhythms, sharing space with others, and adapting day by day… it wasn’t always easy. But it was worth it. The whole experience was unforgettable a chapter I’ll always look back on with a smile.
Hasta la vista, Valencia.
