Life on a boat that does not go anywhere.
I have three more days living on this boat which doesn’t really go anywhere. Many think I’m crazy for the fact that I am living here by choice, often when I mention my “housing” situation the first question that arises is the price, most of the time they assume I live here to save money or because it is cheaper than a room in Barcelona, and when I say how much I pay they thinking I am being ripped off.
The true is I am here simply because I want to be here.
First reason would be that I don't live close to the beach I live on the water, living on the water fascinates me, calms me down and the energy is fascinating, people smile therefore they relax when they are close to water, also considering it is far from the city the beach can be very desert then I get to exercise on my own which is something I love. During weekdays I even get to meditate sitting on the sand and I have no distractions. It is an amazing feeling as if the beach is there only for me, I get to practice asanas and katas which is pretty much the same shit but I like to sound versatile lol
The boat is quite small, but that didn’t really bothered me assuming you get to be outside most of the time, inside of the port there is everything you need, restaurant, cafes, shower, laundry, it is located in front of the train station and I there is a small local mini market across the street.
To be outside most of the time fascinates me, gives me energy I get to do so much, I like to live like this from time to time, it gives me the sense of a balance specially because I was working in a office in front of a computer.
I am a kind of a person who makes little traps for myself, before living inside of this boat I was living I a huge loft, 5min waking from the office and I did not see the day light for 2 month, I was only sleeping and working, I knew I didn’t want to be there anymore, I had an upcoming course in Portugal in the region of algarve then I set the occasion for a change, I left the loft, dropped my things at a friends house I went to Algarve without a place to come back to Barcelona,it was my holidays from work for this reason I had a date which I had to be back at the office, then I booked my returning flight exactly for this date.
While I’m in Portugal I was taking a course which takes place mainly outdoors, during this time I have decided to live on the boat, it was not something out of the blue I’ve had already an offer from a guy I met, who was taking care of the loft I was living in, he was also I traveller himself and he was living on a boat too. We exchanged a few txts and the deal was made.
I am very grateful for this time I have spent here, I was alone most of the time which helped me learning stuff about my self , I have realised I am exactly where I wanted to be and becose of that my spirit feels lighter.
Due to the healthy situation we are currently going through here in earth, I have decided to live the boat since I cant go outside anymore lol. Im going to Brazil to visit my family, again in April seems like April is my Brazil time I always plan for October but I always end up there in April, anyway in 4 days I will be with mummy and once this virus situation is a bit more cleared up I will go back to Germany.
I am not so sure about the reason I am writing all of this here I guess I was bored and I started writing. Well, now its already written and I will maybe press post it.
Wish you guys a beautiful day full of me time, family time, tea time or anything that rather sounds cozily =)
xoxo
