From Barcelona to Zürich (Diary)

Dear pirate, it’s been a lot since I write you. Today is a rainy day here, so here I am, sitting in front of my computer and writing to you.

It’s been one year since I started travelling to Zürich once per month. This summer I was missing my home, my Barcelona, so much, that I decided to do a break. So I stayed in Spain for two months.

It’s been so good, I had time to enjoy the sea, to rest, and to do the kind of dates I like most: Dinner, music and love: Perfect Night (8h)

I don’t usually talk about my dates here (I was in the past, you can check some of my writings in 2015, 2016…) but today I feel inspired, may be the rain, may be that my brain is finally calm.

So here we are, my gentleman and I having a delicious dinner in one of my favourites restaurants from Barcelona, and I tell him that I was not having this kind of date in Zürich. To which he responds that I have to educate them better. Suddenly in my head several connections begin to be generated, and I wonder why I didn’t have those kinds of dates there. I respond him that I think, as it was a new city for me, I was the one who was avoiding dates outside my apartment. It’s not like a long date came up and I rejected it, maybe in my subconscious I didn’t attract that type of client because of the insecurity caused by being in a place I don’t know, with a person I don’t know, where a language I don’t know is spoken (and where taxis are very expensive).

My dates in Barcelona are always out, and my first dates in Madrid where always out too, and even if the city was new for me, I was feeling okay, we where in Spain, I was Spanish, I knew the rules. (Also I gotta say most of my clients in Spain are generous and usually pay my taxi).

First time I was in Zürich I was feeling like a total stranger, even in the supermarket. So I needed time to connect with the city. Now that I know it better, I just have to change the chip in my head and open my mind to dates outside my apartment, the type of dates I’m used to in Spain.
