In this video I will show you a bunch of cool ideas and the activities that you can do when
you're bored. I filmed this video during my vacation in Barcelona, but you can do all
of these wherever you are in the world. We just landed in Barcelona, I can't wait to
explore it for a week and you guys are coming with me! Come on!
GO TO THE PARK! This is our first day in Barcelona, we got
our tour guides and the first stop is park Guell.
We got in! An awesome thing that you
can do when bored is going to the park. Spending a few hours outside will refresh your mind
and body. Take with you a friend or go alone. Sit on the bench with a good book, spend time
strolling around, taking pictures, listening to birds and admiring the world around you.
This famous park consists of gardens and amazing architectural elements, designed by Antoni
Gaudi, a renowned architect and a face of Catalan modernism. But your park doesn't have
to be word famous like this one! Sometimes the peaceful, hidden places can give us much
more life and energy. VISIT AN AMUSEMENT PARK!
We got our tickets guys, let's go to Port Aventura.
I love visiting amusement parks
when I have the opportunity. To me it feels like stepping into a fantasy world for a day
and makes me forget all the real life problems. So take a fun day in your nearest amusement
park with your friends and family! Enjoy the rides, the food and just be wild and free.
I am not a big fan of the super scary rides, but that's OK because every park has so many
attractions to chose from so you can definitely find something for your taste.
Get ready guys!
I loved our day in the Port Aventura park – the weather was perfect, it wasn't too crowded and the
rides were epic! And now we're going to take you guys here. Are you guys ready for the
scariest roller coaster in Europe? Shamballa is the fastest, highest and longest coaster
here. I didn't dare to go on it, but my boyfriend did and he also filmed the experience. So
enjoy the ride!
SIGHTSEEING!
I like discovering and learning about new places, but you don't have to travel to another
country or city to do some sightseeing. Sometimes we live on one place for years and decades
and we are so drawn in our every day routine that we forget to appreciate all the amazing
things our home town has to offer. It's our third day in Barcelona and now we are in the
Placa Espanya and I'm going to show you some sights here. So be tourist for a day in your
own city. Explore the parts, that you don't go to every day or visit the local museum
to learn about the roots of your town. It's funny how we all want to visit the cool popular
places around the world, when sometimes the biggest treasures are right in front of us.
RELAX ON THE BEACH! We are going to the beach, come on. Here we are at the Barcelona beach
and there is a dead rat. That's why we are not going to go swimming.
I can sit by the sea for hours just staring at the ocean, listening to the waves and the
seagulls. I don't know what is it but I find it extremely relaxing and fulfilling. If you
don't live by the sea, go for a walk to the nearest lake or river. Invite a friend, a
boyfriend or just have some alone time surrounded by the beautiful nature. Fun fact about me
- I'm a huge snacky person. We came here on the beach for one hour and look what I got
with me. Some apples, donuts - I've already eaten one and some multi grain biscuits. I'm
going to eat it all. Yum, Yum. Boyfriend is a snacky person too, but not as much as me. - I wasn't
until I met Sara. I wasn't swimming that day in Barcelona, not only because of the rat,
but also because it was quite chilly and windy. Still, I loved spending a few hours with feet
in the sand, relaxing after the long walking hours from the previous days.
SHOPPING! Most of us girls love shopping, right? Well
Barcelona has a lot to offer shopping wise. Especially the local Spanish fashion brands
are worth checking out. I feel that even though these brands are globally present the selection
and the prices were way better in Spain. Anyway, more than buying a lot of stuff and spending
a ton of money I enjoy the experience of walking from a store to the store whilst chatting
with friends, mum or my boyfriend. Instead of going to the shopping mall where all you
have around you is a ton of shops, I recommend shopping in the city centres, or on the shopping
streets. When walking from a store to a store you can also admire the buildings, the architecture
and the city life. Barcelona is definitely a star in that sense. While walking the streets
you suddenly notice the amazing architectural creations like La Pedrera, which is a modernist
building, designed by Gaudi. The house has a unique rouned stone facade and twisting
iron balconies. Another one of his masterpieces is house Batllo, where he used pieces of the
ceramic tiles to decorate the facade. We also walked past the world famous Sagrada Familia.
The construction of this majestic church commenced in 1882 and is estimated to be finished around
2026. Hmm... A real quick and easy DIY, don't you think?!
DO SPORTS! When you're bored and feeling low in energy
try to do some sports. Activity is not just super healthy for your body and mind, but
it will also make you feel fantastic. VISIT THE LOCAL FARMERS MARKET!
Today we decided to walk the famous Rambla street and we are starting here at the Placa
Catalunya. Rambla is a central 1.2 kilometre long street
full of souvenir shops, cafes, restaurants and street artists. The thing that I was the
most excited about though it's the market la Bouqueria. There you can find an amazing
selection of chocolates, sweets, gummy candy, ice creams but also juices, meat, sea food
and tons of delicious fresh fruit cups. Those looked so yummy, I had to grab one even though
I wanted to grab at least 10. No joke! If you are bored, go check out your local farmers
market and try out some of their yummy products. There's always so much going on on such markets,
I really like to just stroll around and observe the food and people around me. While walking
the Rambla street I found a cute bakery shop and picked up some macaroons.
We continuedour way towards the sea and spotted a cool Columbus tower at the end of the street.
These are our Rambla purchases and I can't wait to try the macaroons because, I've never tried them before.
I want to take a picture... I have a feeling that this one will be the best
one. Sugar, jam and a little bit of biscuit in it. I'm going to start with the pineapple.
Here you go! After more sightseeing we became hungry so we decided to try out something
different. We had the Spanish paella several times in Barcelona so that day we chose Macedonian
cuisine. Here is the pita bread and I got the greek salad. But you don't have to go
to the restaurant to try something new. I actually love trying out new recipes when
I have time, from Mexican, Indian to Italian and French. You can learn so much about different
cultures through the food. So I dare you guys, try to cook something completely new.
VISIT A ZOO OR AQUARIUM! For all the animal lovers out there a great
thing to do when bored is visiting a zoo or an aquarium! First we spent a few minutes
in the Barcelona aquarium shop, where they sell a lot of sea stuffed animals, toys and
souvenirs. But we couldn't wait to see some real sea animals, including sharks, so let's
dive into the ocean. The 35 aquariums in the building are home to 11 thousand animals,
representing 450 species. The facility is divided in several sections, like Mediterranean,
ocean and Tropical, where we also found Nemo and Dori. By the way, are you guys excited
about the Finding Dori film coming soon? I literally can't wait. Finding Nemo is one
of my favorite animated films and Dori was such an awesome character so I bet Finding
Dori will be spectacular. Look at the invisible fish guys. Here is one big bowl of seahorses
and here is another one.
One of the best parts of the aquarium was definitely the shark tunnel,
where we could see sharks swimming all around and above us. I thought it was quite scary,
but very cool at the same time. Sara are you still afraid of sharks? Yes, but this was
really epic. Look it's a unicorn - sea unicorn. Penguin! Penguin...
Thank you for being with me on this trip, now it's time to travel back home, but we are just
in time for some last minute airport shopping. Bye!
After a week of Barcelona adventures it was time to travel back north. I will definitely
remember this fantastic city by the unique architecture, delicious food and vibrant street
style. Hope you enjoyed travelling with me and got some inspiration on what to do when
you are bored!
