Besides the fear of not finding a job, I'd probably say the second biggest fear is not knowing anyone and feeling alone. I can relate to this feeling, but I can definitely confirm from experience that this fear is really unfounded here. It's very easy to make new friends in Barcelona! There are many people here who have emigrated just like you and me looking for new friends. Whether you speak Spanish or not, Barcelona is international and you can communicate in pretty much any language. For me, it's been easy to make new friends through apps and events. Here are my recommendations. ⤵️
Find your sport and make new friends there! I use Urban Sports myself and have the opportunity to try out lots of sports and connect with other people. But I also look for groups without the app where I can exchange ideas with others. For example, there are free inline skating groups, running groups, volleyball groups and much more. Simply put, there is something for everyone and many things are free.
What else I can recommend:
🥂 Events:
📲 Apps:
- Bumble - Find your friends like dating on Tinder
- Meetup - find your circle through events
- Facebook (Groups)
I hope this blog has been helpful and I'm sure you'll make lots of new contacts during your time in Barcelona! I would also love to connect with you.
