In this video I will show you a bunch of cool ideas on 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 world 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 choose 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 Plaça España
-
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 centers, 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 rounded stone facade and twisting iron balconies.
-
Another one of his masterpieces is house Batlló, 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 Boqueria.
-
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 continued our 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!
