Ciao everyone!!

Just wanted to introduce myself to you all as just booked my one way ticket  to move to Barcelona in two weeks time! Will be on the job and accommodation search as soon as i exit the plane (17th October i arrive) so if any of you have any contacts for either please send them my way. I teach English (predominately business english when i was living in Italy for a year) and have a university degree in Health Science (Promotion and Nutrition).   

Cant wait to meet and make a new circle of friends there and hear all about your stories and experiences of life in Spain.. My ultimate goal is to stay there permanently as after much travel and living in various places it really is my perfect home.. also need to become fluent in Spanish to assist my dream career in International Health!

Thanks everyone and hope to meet a few of you soon!!

Welcome to BCN, all!

This forum used to be a lot more active when it comes to organising events etc. but we do still occasionally plan things.

Where are you all living in Barcelona?

My girlfriend and I and a few other friends live up in and around Gracia and we tend to go out quite a bit in the area so perhaps we'll bump into you sometime!

Hello All,

I am moving to Barcelona on November 3rd for 3+ months on a work assignment. I'm from Vancouver, Canada and was hoping to meet other ex-pats to experience the city with. If there is a gathering or if anyone would like to grab a drink that would be awesome.

Cheers

Fabbio

Hi people!!!
Does anyone want to go out and drink something tomorrow night???
