First two weeks in Valencia, Spain

First day in Valencia, Sunday 02. April 2023... 😬

Sunday was my first day in Valencia. I arrived on Saturday 1. April on night so I went straight to my apartment. I’m staying in shared flat. I have an own room where is double bed and two windows. First in the morning I headed to grocery store little did I know that here was a holiday, so all the stores were closed. After walking around for a while, I found a small store which was open. I bought something to eat and got back to the apartment. After the breakfast I unbagged my stuff and putted them on their own place. I had a little break and then headed to get some ice coffee from Starbucks. There were about 2 km, so I was just walking and checking out the neighbourhood at the same time. It was really warm day about 25 degrees and sun was shining. I got my iced coffee and started to walk back to my home. I saw a really nice park and decided to head there to enjoy my iced coffee. I was just looking around and the park was so pretty. I was tired because of the long day so I decided to stay at my room for the rest of the day. I’m so excited for the upcoming and can’t wait to see what this internship will bring for me. 

First days at the office, Monday 3. April!  💪

My internship at Happy Erasmus Valencia started on Monday 3. I was so nervous and excited at the same time. My heart was beating so fast when I got next to the office. Getting to the office was easy because I got a free metro/tram/bus card so I just hopped in to the tram. First we had a little meeting which was alright. Straight from that we get to the work. First days was pretty crazy because I was so lost with everything. Since the first workday I was really enjoying it. We work five times per week and the working hours are 10-15 (morning shift) or 15-20 (afternoon shift). We are also organizing events so sometimes you are working nights too. 

How it have been going? 😍

I love it here so much. The work is amazing and I am learning new things everyday. Weather have been everyday sunny and +20 degrees. I have already made so many new friends. I have made a one finnish friend in here so it's nice to sometimes speak my own language too. The nights here have been really cold and that suprised me. I have been freezing at night and because of that I have a flu now. Not a bad one but still. These first weeks I have been taking chill and checking all the new places around me. I'm so excited because here is so much things to see and do. I'm so happy already that I took a part to this internship. I have never been this happy.
