The Last Week – Goodbye, Valencia – Blog Entry 13

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 the team and helped reset a PC to factory settings, then reinstalled all the games that were needed.
On the way home, I looked up and just took in the sky. It was one of those calm, beautiful evenings that made me pause for a second.


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.
Meanwhile, everyone else started preparing for the return to Berlin. They were packing, sorting their stuff, and getting things in order.

Our last full day in Valencia. I spent most of it at work again, and when I got home, I packed my suitcases and cleaned up the room.

I couldn’t sleep much that night, even though we had to get up early for our flight. I was thinking about all the memories from these past weeks.
I kept thinking about the sunsets, the warm nights, and the funny, random moments we shared.
But at the same time, I was also really looking forward to going back home.. To Berlin, to my family, my friends, and just that familiar feeling of being back in your own space.
Eventually, I did fall asleep… just not for very long.

Saturday, 31st May 2025
The day had finally come. We all woke up early to catch our Bus to the airport.
Before leaving, I took one last look at our apartment. It was strange to think it would all be over in just a few hours.

Looking back, the time in Valencia was beautiful, but also sometimes exhausting. You really underestimate how long two months can feel when you’re in a new place, with new routines, multiple people, and a different pace.
But in the end, it was definitely an adventure. One I won’t forget.

Hasta la vista, Valencia.

Almost Over – Valencia Blog Entry 12

Monday, 19th – Thursday, 22nd May 2025
Not much happened earlier this week. I wasn’t feeling great for a few days, so I mostly stayed in and rested. Every now and then, I went outside just to get some fresh air and enjoy the evening sun. The evening sun here in Valencia is very beautiful. ☀️
By Thursday, I was finally starting to feel a bit better again.

Friday, 23rd May 2025
Finally! I had a job interview at Arena Valencia. It’s basically an internet café where people can rent PCs or consoles like PlayStations to game for a few hours. The interview went well, and I’ll actually start working there next Monday in the evening!

Later in the day, I took a solo train ride to Madrid and met up with Florian and Jimmy at our Airbnb. It was a Late-night arrival, but it was fine.

Saturday, 24th May 2025
We checked out of the Airbnb in the morning and spent the rest of the day exploring Madrid on foot. We did a ton of walking and tried to see as much of the city as possible. Around 9 p.m., we caught the train back to Valencia and arrived late at night. I was super tired after all the walking. I just wish i couldve seen more.

Sunday, 25th May 2025
Sunday was a good one! All of us went bowling, and for once, everyone wanted to to come. It was honestly fun, and the energy was great.
There was also an arcade at the same place, so a few of us played some games there too before heading back home late in the evening.

An Eventful Week in Valencia – Valencia Blog Entry 11

Monday, 12th May 2025
On Monday I revised my notes on IT and watched some videos about Networking.
Later in the day, I headed to the city center (Xàtiva area) just to walk around and check things out. In the evening, I stayed in and chilled. 🤙


Tuesday, 13th May 2025
Spent some time working on Udemy courses again during the day.
Later, Jimmy and I went to pick up a friend of ours from the airport. He came all the way from Berlin to visit. We three also booked a separate AirBnB for a few days and checked in together.
The rest of the day we just took it easy and went for a short walk in the evening.


Wednesday, 14th May 2025
We showed our friend around the city, mostly stayed around the center and just explored a bit.
In the evening, I continued my Udemy course for a bit, and later we all watched some TV together. Spanish TV is wild sometimes but fun to follow along. 😄


Thursday, 15th May 2025
Time to check out of the AirBnB. Our friend moved into his hotel, but unfortunately he was feeling really sick.. And I could feel something coming on too.. AGAIN.
So we decided to take it slow and just rest up for the rest of the day.


Friday, 16th May 2025
Pretty much the same as the day before. We took care of our friend and tried to recover a bit ourselves.
We went for a short walk at night, but later I felt pretty bad and ended up going to the pharmacy to get some medicine.


Saturday, 17th May 2025
We were both feeling a bit better, so we decided to visit the aquarium. It was actually really cool to see all the different fish, sea creatures and even Crocodiles too! 🐟🐊
After that, we went to the old town for a bit and walked around. Since I had to bring him to the airport the next day, we called it an early night.

Sunday, 18th May 2025
I brought our friend to the airport in the morning — time for him to head back to Berlin.
Unfortunately, by midday I wasn’t feeling great again, so I spent the rest of the day lying down and trying to recover.

Quiet Weekend – Valencia Blog Entry 10


Saturday, 10th May 2025
Still wasn’t feeling great on Saturday, so I stayed in and rested most of the day.
Sadly, there was loud music playing right outside the door. There was some kind of party outside apparently, but I tried to ignore it.
By the evening, I started to feel a little better, so I went out for a short walk just to get some fresh air.

Sunday, 11th May 2025
Finally started to feel more like myself again. The weather was nice, so I headed into the city center to enjoy the sun for a bit.
I walked around, and just took my time. It felt good to be out again after a few days stuck inside. 👍

Barbecue Evening and Football – Valencia Blog Entry 9

Monday, 5th May 2025
Started the week by working through more of my Udemy courses. Trying to keep up some kind of routine at least.
In the evening, we fired up the grill and had a little BBQ. The food turned out great even though there was smoke from the grill everywhere xD


Tuesday, 6th May 2025
Tuesday was kind of the same, I spent more time with the Udemy stuff.
Later that evening, we watched a football match on TV: Inter vs. Barcelona. It was definetly chill :3


Wednesday, 7th May 2025
Woke up not feeling great. Throughout the day I just felt off.
Still went out for a short walk in the evening, hoping the fresh air would help a bit.


Thursday, 8th May 2025
This day I definitely turned sick. Spent most of Thursday in bed and just tried to rest. Not much else to say really.


Friday, 9th May 2025
Still not doing great on Friday, so I had to stay home again. I was actually supposed to go to a job interview at a gaming shop, but couldn’t make it.
Shoutout to Jimmy though — he went in my place and helped out. Really grateful for that.

Music Event – Valencia Blog Entry 8

Thursday, 1st May 2025
Thursday I mostly just chilled, went for a little walk outside to get some fresh air, and spent a bit of time working through my Udemy course again.


Friday, 2nd May 2025
Another quiet day. I kept going with my Udemy stuff and stayed in for the most part. Later that night, I went out for a solo night walk near our place. It was calm and peaceful.


Saturday, 3rd May 2025
Saturday was more active! We went to a shopping mall and stopped by MediaMarkt to get some film for my Polaroid camera. After that, we headed toward the harbor to check it out.

Turns out there was a music event going on down there, so we hung around, soaked up the sun, and just enjoyed the atmosphere.
In the evening, we made our way back home and took it easy.


Sunday, 4th May 2025
Sunday was all about relaxing. Just a quiet end to the weekend.

Power Outage, Paella & Fight Club – Valencia Blog Entry 7

Monday, 28th April 2025
Monday was kind of a weird day. We had a nationwide power outage, so no electricity, no internet. So we basically had to get through the whole day offline, which definitely felt strange in the big year of 2025.
The power finally came back on later at night, but yeah… not much happened apart from waiting around and trying to stay entertained.


Tuesday, 29th April 2025
Tuesday was much more eventful. We met with Mr. Bavar and my supervisor, Mr. Gierschner, since they came over to visit us. They came by our apartment first, and we gave them a quick tour of the place.
Later, we all went out and had Paella with lobster and a couple of beers together.


Wednesday, 30th April 2025
On Wednesday, it was Jimmy’s and my turn to clean the apartment, so we spent part of the day doing that. Afterward, we went out for some groceries.
To end the day, we watched Fight Club. I never watched it and now I have. I sure liked it 😀

Friday, 25th April 2025
I Spent part of the day going through some more Udemy courses.
In the evening, a few of us went to an Asian grocery store to grab some things. Later that night, we randomly decided to go to the cinema and watched Star Wars Episode III and honestly, even better on the big screen.


Saturday, 26th April 2025
Saturday was super chill. I went for a long walk through the city on my own, just listening to music and exploring a bit. No real plan, just needed to clear my head and move around a little.


Sunday, 27th April 2025
Sunday was all about taking it easy. I stayed in, relaxed, and had a couple of calls with friends and family back home. Nothing big happened, just a slow day.

Tuesday, 22nd April 2025
Tuesday was a bit more eventful. Jimmy, Ruben, and I visited a shopping center and picked up a few things we needed (and maybe a few we didn’t). After shopping, we stopped by a Bulgarian restaurant where Jimmy reccommended some meals to try out. It was very tasty 🙂


Wednesday, 23rd April 2025
On Wednesday, I tagged along with Florian and Jimmy while they were out looking for stamps. We ended up browsing a few other stores too, mostly ones with electronics and video games. Even if we didn’t buy much, it was fun just checking stuff out.


Thursday, 24th April 2025
Thaddäus and Florian were heading into the city center, so I decided to join them. We wandered around, popped into a couple of shops, and I ended up buying a Polaroid camera. Pretty hyped to start snapping some memories on film 😀

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.


Friday, 18th April 2025
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.


Saturday, 19th April 2025
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 🙂

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