Depart Birmingham, arrive Barcelona

So, today I embarked on a different kind of journey, something way out of my comfort zone. I've moved to Barcelona for a year to do an Erasmus programe. I will be studying at BAU escola superior de disseny starting in October. For two nights prior to leaving I've had no sleep due to general stress of the whole situation. Moving to another country was always going to be really tough. There was several concerns that I had:

• What is my apartment going to be like?
• Will my roommates be nice?
• Will I have enough money?
• Is my Spanish good enough to get by? 
• What is my new course going to be like?
• My navigational skills are awful, so what do I do if I get lost?
• What kind of clothing do I take? 

What exactly do I need to bring for my course or do I just buy it out there when I find out?

And this is just to name a few...and throughout my blog I will be posting anything from problems and problem solving, daily scenarios, any troubles that I encounter as a student living in Barcelona. My aim is to help anyone moving to Barcelona, through in detail advice and through my own personal experiences. Before moving here, I would love to have found a blog like the one I am creating because I wanted to know the good and bad of a move like this. Though, I didn't find one, so I'm now providing this blog for anyone who wants to know more about my life as a fashion student living in Barcelona.
