American Moving to Barcelona, Spain | My Barcelona Apartment Tour

- I have been in Barcelona for a few days and it's time to move into my New Barcelona COLIVING apartment I rented through ineditbarcelona.... SITE UNSEEN and I am so happy with it.
When moving to Barcelona I was unsure about everything. I didn't know where I would be living and although I have been a few times I am unfamiliar with the neighborhood in this city. I did not want to be in student housing even though I will be a student here. This CoLiving option was truly the best choice when starting in a new city. I have only rented the room for a few months and from there who knows where I will live but once I'm here in person I can look at listings in person. I feel much more comfortable renting a place longer term once I've seen it.:) For now I love my room here in Barcelona.

Hello! I'm Ashley, a travel enthusiast who loves to explore and share everything I learn along the way. I have traveled to over 70 countries and have made if my mission to dig into the culture, history, food, and language as much as I can. I not only want to share my passion for the world but also encourage my viewers to get out and experience it for themselves. I feel privileged to have the opportunity to inspire others to challenge their miss conceptions and step out of what makes them comfortable in hopes of trying or experience something new that may change their life forever.

If you like any of my videos please consider sharing them on your social medias. It will really help me and my channel and more people will learn about the world through my content. I LOVE THAT!
Also be sure you're subscribed and have clicked on the bell. TH-cam is so silly about these things but really it helps if you make the extra effort for me and do it!! Thank you XOXOX Ash
Absolutely very beautiful queen thanks ❤❤❤👍
I am still amazed that you managed to get all your luggage up those stairs! The apartment is really nice and a looks a lot roomier than I imagined. I know you are going to enjoy your time there. You already look pretty happy in your new place!
Hopefully more will follow you on Instagram, that’s where we learned of your plants. SO proud of you Ash for finding your way! Great job with the luggage! ~Cara 💖💖💖
I'm so happy for you Ash! And really proud even though we've never met LOL You're living the dream!! Keep doing what you're doing, you got this!
Beautiful plants 🪴 😍
I love your apartment and would love to see a vlog on how you found it. I wish you lots of happiness in your life living in Barcelona, it has taken a lot of guts to make that journey x
Thanks Dan! I for definitely taken a leap of faith.
I plan on doing a video on how I found housing here for sure! -Ash
Congratulations lovely Ash. I am in awe of you.The best of luck on this new part of your adventure. No matter what life throws at you, you always seem to accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative. You will get so used to the noise you will not notice it in a while. I moved from Ireland to Manhattan and did not notice the noise after a while. Your apartment is lovely. Looking forward to Barcelona life.
I try to focus on the positive and what's in front of me. Its so important. -Ash
Lugging the luggage up the stairs 😮💨 There have probably been easier ascents of Everest 😝 The apartment looks great, love the floor tiles. The plants on the balcony is a beautiful touch ☺️ I hope you’re enjoying yourself, Ash. Good luck!
Good luck in the new place!
This is a fantastic new opportunity to live and study in a country. Loved the apartment and your new plants. Wishing you a Happy time there. 👍🥰
It really is. I don't take any of it for granted.
It’s fantastic to see how far you have come. It is inspiring. I hope you can see it too, especially with being able to watch your own videos back to see how you’ve overcome past hard times.
Thank you! It’s hard to see it yourself but I’m greatful to have videos documenting my progress.
@@WingingItWithAsh one day you’ll look back on this & realise just how strong you were all along. The world is your oyster, free from ties. Only yourself to please. It might seem scary & sure that’s natural but you’ll look back & see just how awesome this time was.
Dearest Ashley, you look SO much happier now. Remember your video from the banks of the river Seine in Paris?
You are a completely different woman now. Sending you all my love, Glen in England
Oh I rememberer. Lol there is still residual heart ache but every day is better. I am focusing on what's right in front of me and going for it. No time to look in the past. I need to set my eyes on the prize and go for it. -Ash
Very cute video 🙂 I can tell that you really like your apartment. Awesome camerawork showing it off. Enjoy Barcelona.
This reminded me of living in a 5th floor apartment with no lift in Spain and having to carry my suitcase up and down every time I went home 😆 once a very nice taxi driver offered to carry it up, which I think he regretted by the 3rd floor 😂 your apartment looks lovely, especially the balcony 😊
YOU FEEL MY PAIN!!! LOL nice to be understood lol
You’ll love Barcelona….my son lived there for a few months and still misses it all the time……wish you health, wealth and happiness in sunny Spain…..😘
So proud of you Ash, your resilience has been noteworthy, and an encouragement to me. Looking forward to the Barcelona content.
Yeahhhh I am so encouraged by others its fun to hear I've returned the favor!
Hey Ash.. absolutely loved those plants. I'm a plant lover too and have a small balcony garden 😍
Hope you are settling in well and have been enjoying your new space.
Wishing you all the best in sunny Barcelona Ash.
I’ve been there check out the Barcelona Zoo when you get around to checking out the city. It’s a beautiful city.
Much love and best of luck to you! How beautiful your life is changing and growing, blooming like a flower! 🙏💗🌷
And yes would love to know how you found the flat!
Video is to come!! :)
Absolutely nothing but love and best wishes for you as you start this exciting adventure, Ashley! I am praying for you and asking God to place wonderful people in your life as you settle in! I know He will!
Thank you so much!! I have met so many amazing people and really love my church here as well. -Ash
Loving the plants Ash they are just too cute very you. It's such a beautiful place the smells the sights the food lots to enjoy xxx
I LOVE this video girl, but more than anything I am soooo happy to see you happy and thriving in your environment! Get some earplugs or fall asleep to music and your fan if you can to drown out the noise lol 😁
You may like the noise one day haha! That is what is called definitely making memories! I think the apartment is so cute! Nice nails and plants too by the way! So lovely to see you giggle at the little joys of owning some plants and that is so very healthy in life! Love ya girl and be safe! So sorry you had to carry all of those bags up by yourself, but it was definitely a good work out!
Note to youself* need to make good friends in Barcelona to help you bring them back down when you are finished living there lol!
Love the apartment and the plants! When I moved into where I live, it was very noisy also and I thought I made a big mistake. But now I sleep like a baby and don't even hear the sirens at night. You will adjust.
My first impression of your apartment building was that it was a little grungy, but on reflection I think it’s great. Those plants already make it more homey & more you. Enjoy your time there Ash. 😊
Its funny how that works. In a strange way the grunge adds charm. -Ash
I love so much your new apartment and the plants. Enjoy ❤❤❤
You are so awesome! Your positive energy is what i aspire to have. Keep up the good work. You are making a difference in many lives with your spirit
Such a cute apartment! Love your plants too! Suggestion about storing your big pink luggage….. unzip it and lay it out flat, with hard side down, this way it should be able to store under your bed. 😊🌻👩🏼🌾
I LOVE THIS IDEA!! Thank you! I actually needed something out of it the other day and opted not to get it because I didn't want the hassle. Your little tip has solved that for me!!! You're awesome! -aSH
Haha good old Europe with no elevators. I have so many memories of dragging my 20kg suitcase up and down various countries. Don't get me started on the train stations that don't even have escalators!
Noise machine app!!! I go to an air bnb every time I travel to see my kids abroad..this airbnb is is in the ideal spot between them..but the building is loud! All night long people go in and out if the halls. I use a noise machine app..I am so happy you are there and enjoying yourself..keep on vlogging
Always inspirational to watch your videos!!! Awesome adventures in Spain await you!!! So excited to see where and what you are doing next!!!
YES!!! So many adventures to come! -Ash
Enjoy your new space. Not only your new place but the upbeat mindset. Good luck with the adventure in Barcelona.
Thanks Guys!
You always seem to find the cutest and beautiful places to stay. Beautiful apartment!
I do my research haha. I love being comfortable in my space. Its important to me. ASH
Wow! You certainly seem at home already in that beautiful apartment. I'm sure you will soon get used to the city noise from down below!
With the fan it for sure has helped. I do feel very much at home here Im so glad you can see it as well. -Ash
Once you have a fan, you'll be fine at night & eventually the noise will actually lull you to sleep. I lived briefly near a railway line & the sound of the trains became comforting.
The apartment is lovely, plenty of room, hope you get to keep it to yourself but otherwise that any future flatmate turns out to be OK.
Enjoy your stay & new life, big hugs x
I have two roommates and they are great!! I am only here in this place until the end of Aug. Then I need to find different accommodation. I hope to take you all along for that! -Ash
@@WingingItWithAsh Oh that's good, makes all the difference having great flatmates.
You'll have to lug your cases all the way down again, hope the wheels are up to the bumping!! Look forward to sharing the next move you make in September 😊
Plant's are very cool :D
Love it!! Looking forward to seeing you shine there as you create a new life.
Definitely make a video on the process of getting an apartment 😊
Such an upbeat video. With the plants you are certainly adopting Spanish ways. Now you need to learn Catalan!
Absolutely love Barcelona .. the beach bars are awesome and great to spend an hour or two relaxing. Hope you’ll love it there too ☺️
I’m really enjoying every moment!!
All the best Ashley. You are a real trooper. Tough as nails I would say. Take care and safe travels. Morris.
Resilience is a strength of mine. HAHA
Good luck Ash!
That is a nice apartment, the stairs are a killer if you have a load to lug but success! I hope you are very happy in your new home. All the best!
SO far I really am!! Its a lovely place to be to start over! -Ash
That looks like a nice apartment. I wouldnt have made it up those steps! That was a workout. I love the balcony too and the plants are a prefect addition
I pushed myself for sure! :) And the apartment is worth the steps!
hi! hope you are enjoying the city! a little balcony etiquette though, don't water your plants in the middle of the day because you could get people walking on the street really wet! we tend to do it after dinner around 10pm when there's not many people out and about (it's better for the plants anyway to avoid watering them in the scorching sun or you could scold them!) :)
Spot on. Most of the water will evaporate at that time of day; water in the evening and the plants get the benefit all night.
Thanks for the tips! I had no idea this was a thing. I am happy to follow the rules now that I know them. Awesome! I so appreciate you filing me in. Keep them coming. ANY tips and tricks are welcome! -Ash
Good luck ash and keep an eye out for those pickpockets in barca.
i love ur smile its so cute
I found BCN to abe a wonderful city, and I hope you get to enjoy it during your stay. Your Internet connection is liekey via cable and that is an assymetrical connection. (very simply that means download speeds are much faster than upload speeds.) Since most people are not uploading videos to youtube that isnt a problem for them, but for you it unfortuantely could be a problem. I suspect the best solution for you will be to find an Internet cafe that is using a fibre connectoin and has upload speeds of 100 mbps or faster. Or potentially your cellualar service is 5G, and has resonable upload speeds and not outrageously expensive for data. Than using the phone as a hotspot could work, or you could get a separate device. And as I suspect you know, it will take time to feel at home in a place that is culturally very different and speaks a language different than yours. So go with the flow. (Remember Catalanians eat VERY late, most restaurants don't even open to around 9 PM.
My videos actually upload in a little over an hour. It's been really good in comparison to the last 6 months. I can't complain. :)
And still you smiled. Well done, young lady!
Perma smile. lol
Hi Ash . i hope your enjoying your new home. going up all the stairs looks like a work out to me..stay safe..V.R..
Wishing you the very best in Barcelona! My daughter went on vacation as a teen. Came back determined some day she would live there. Traveled back a couple of times. Then she made the move 12 yrs ago! Now she purchased an apt in a town on the outskirts in a gothic area. She doesn't think she'll ever depart from Spain. Loves being able to travel on a budget throughout Europe. Stay safe lovely young lady.
I love this!! You know its a good city when you fall in love with it, go back and never want to leave. I want to fall in love with a place like that. Maybe Barcelona is it?!?! -Ash
My brother lived there got married there he loved it and he can speak. some spanish now best wishes
THE DREAM!!!!! LOL
That’s a lot of stairs, but good workout. The apartment is adorable. Take care. 😀
It is Karen. I only leave when I have to hahaha
Discovered your videos from the other channel... Glad I decided to follow your new channel here. Subscribed!
What No Elevator!!!??? That’s Crazy!!!! A lot Of Work! 😊 Your Such A Happy Person 😊🤙
Haha Yeah! I had to look at it as my daily exercise lol
Goog vlog Ash.
Love the cute apartment! 😍
Definitely a brilliant idea to make the place homely!
You've got a smashing personality and smile, its great following your vlogs!
Simon you're so kind! Thank you and Im happy to bring you along for the ride! haha -ash
Those stairs 😳. Well done Girl!!!! Yes please, to how you found your apartment.
It's so good to see you smile 😊. Your space is absolutely beautiful 😍
I know! It was a trek to get them up here! I will be sure to do a video sharing all the option of finding housing here in Barcelona. I love informative video like that! -Ash
What a lovely video & great to see you settled into your lovely apartment. Can I add another tip for the plants - water the roots, not the leaves. You might want to change your watering can to one without the ‘rose’ at the end.
If you are using tap water leave the water in the can for 8-10 h at least (ideally 12+) to let the chlorine escape.
Finally don’t forget to feed your plants with a dilute feed once a month - seaweed liquid fertiliser works well, but use half the recommended strength.
Beutiful plants and apartment Ash, congratulations 🙂
Thanks so much! 😊
That is a great place!!! I love that you have your own balcony. I love the look of the doors and the tile floors. 🪴 ☀️
Its so funny how the tiles are broken and uneven some are even put in backwards but I can't help but love them. -Ash
Super cute apartment Ash x
Wow... seems very nice! enjoy it!
I will! EVERY MOMENT!
What an adventure!
Just the beginning!!
Cute place, Ash. Are you getting a flatmate? Barcelona is such a beautiful city. Love the tapas there. You might want to invest in some good earplugs for sleeping. I got some on Amazon that are great. Enjoy your adventures, but do watch out for the pickpockets.
I used to live on a really busy street in London. At first I though how will I ever sleep but I got use to it! Good luck with your new adventure 🙏🏽💙
With the fan I am able to sleep for the most part. :) Im glad to hear you get used to it. But did you hear how loud it is hahah
@@WingingItWithAsh so loud haha 🤦🏼♀️🤣
Ash she’s freaking stunning 😍😍😍
Thats nice of you to say.
I wish you well on your next adventures beautiful Ash.
Thank you so much! -Ash
Good luck! Wish I could fly out and join you it seems so fun and a new adventure that I neee! Stay safe! (:
It's a super cute apartment and totally worth all the effort, but there are times when you might wish to splurge on a taxi and a nice fat tip so the driver would help you with your luggage up all those stairs! I understand being short of money, I really do, but there are some times when you just have to stick your hands in your pocket. And did you actually rent this place for 3 months without having seen it?? If it's an Airbnb it's probably fine, but I'm not sure I would trust anyone else.
By the way, when I said it was super cute I meant it. I love the tile floors and the sweet little balcony. It's touches like that that make a person remember every moment that they're in another country.
Welcome to Barcelona Ash. Hope you have a great time here.
Im really looking forward to the adventures to come. -Ash
good luck, you are probably more happy in Spain than the UK by the looks of it...things happen for a reason...good luck 👍💕
Oh man so sorry for the stair climb from hell Ash! You made it and looking none the worse for wear! Glad you like the new digs :) Plants are gorgeous 🌻
Haha Where were you Scott when I needed you. Just kidding! It's good for me to over come challenges. I'll be better for it.
Congrats on the apartment. It's fun watching you continue to chase your dreams. Thanks for sharing.
So many more dreams to chase...this is just the beginning. -ASH
Good luck Ashleigh. You’re going to have a blast, I’m sure.
YEAH!!! I already am and I just got here!
Welcome to Barcelona and I think you're my neighbor. I live across the street. That green door just give it away! And I saw you at the balcony a few days ago. Oh my gosh! Welcome to the noisiest street in BCN!
😂 That’s awesome! Yell at me next time! I’d love to say hi!
@@WingingItWithAsh yes will do! I can see my balcony from your video!
Love the plants 🪴 can’t wait to see them grow ❤️❤️❤️ you inspire me to keep going 😍😍😍
Yes!! Ana JUST KEEP SWIMMING. We got this! -Ash
Ash send some stuff home. You dont need heavy winter gear.
This is my home for now. Who knows when I’ll be back in WA.
Your room is GORGEOUS. Happy new adventures Ash! x
Thanks Cath!
Bienvenida a España!!!
Love the apartment Ash! It’s so charming!!! 💙💙💙
well done Ash, your new place looks great. Hope you have a fantastic time in Barcelona
Thanks Andy!
It’s just beautiful!! I’m so happy for you!
Thank!!
Yes please share how you found that cute apartment. You’ll definitely get your daily steps in everyday, having to climb those stairs.
lol I am getting my steps in for sure!! Its a long way up!
Video will come on how I found housing here!
I am so happy to see you doing so well I am the mother of Jon and Cara retired travelers I wish you the best of everything my dear
Thank you so much!!!
Love your little apartment Ash it's so cute.
It is so cute. I'm in love with the tiles and the balcony. -Ash
You may have thought it but didn't say it. "Where is that nice muscular man when he is needed". The downside of a city apartment in an old building, noise at night and during the day, no double glazing or A/C. Nice flat, you struck lucky sight unseen.
I am so proud of you! Great job Ashley - love your space - be safe!
Thank you!! xoxox Its perfect for me!
Good luck buddy with your new life .
Ash you should check out the musical fountains
You're the third person to mention that THIS WEEK. I think it's calling my name.
Love the tiles in your room and balcony with the green doors, very authentic and cute. How do you feel sharing a house? Now that I'm older it doesn't appeal to me as much but it does help you feel less lonely, you meet new people and it's cheaper!
So cute place.
It really is!
Love your vlogs Ash 💖
Thank you so much for watching them!!
yeah tell us how u found apt!
Great apartment. :) Yes please tell how you got it. :) Btw the plant on the floor dont like sun. :)
what! Oh my gosh! Thank you for telling me. I'll bring it in right away! -Ash
@@WingingItWithAsh Google the plants. Befor you get them. :) It is hot down there now. Watch them very carefully. Especially the Begonia. It can take sun but this scorshing heat, well. :)
95 Megabits ?? Wooooooooow, in London you can call yourself lucky if you get over 20 Megabits !!!
You use Ookla too, you had a good download speed, mine was 45.39 on checking with an upload of 11.68.
Congratulations!
Sometimes transfer rate can improve my restarting the router. Not sure if you have access to it.
Ah! I’m going to Barcelona in August for a week! (I’m from Indiana). Hoping I somehow run into you! 🥰
We could for sure have a coffee one morning! :) I'd love to meet you! -Ash
I know you brought a ton of stuff to live in the UK, but why are you still hauling so much now!?
I hope you can stay put for a while to avoid those stairs! I loved Barcelona, hope you will too!
Your apartment is so beautiful on the inside.
Shame that Banksy isn't there to improve the quality on the outside.
Godspeed on your journey
How cool would that be!!!
@@WingingItWithAsh
IKR
Glad to see you are enjoying the place.
Can't wait to see what you do .
I was not in the same city.
But I loved the places I visited while in Spain.
Good luck, so pretty girl, pretty eyes
Stay safe. Kisses from Madrid 🇪🇸
Thanks!
Your channel is so helpful 😍🥰😘 new sub and bell ❤
YEAH WELCOME!!! Im so happy to see some new peeps on my channel and especially in the comments. You're awesome! -Ash
