Welcome to My Travel Atelier

Christina Rovira

Hi, I am Christina. A 32-year old Spanish- Danish travel writer, mother and wife. I have written here on My Travel Atelier since 2015 alongside my “real” job in the hotel industry. By the end of 2018 my husband & I jumped right into an uncertain future when we quit our 9-5 jobs to travel in Latin America and work online. Since then, my posts are mostly evolving around travelling with a toddler, working online and all the fabulous and not so fabulous things we experience along the way.

Welcome!

Gloomy days in Barcelona call for colorful picture Gloomy days in Barcelona call for colorful pictures 🌈 And how pretty are these things from @garden_atelier? A nice local Barcelona brand I got to know at the @festivaletbcn back in December 💐
What are you doing this weekend? We'll have famil What are you doing this weekend? We'll have family visiting from Denmark and I cannot wait to see Julian's face when his cousins show up for breakfast tomorrow morning 💙 It's such a cliché, but nonetheless it's true: The excitement of your child outweighs your own by thousands. That being said, then I also look forward to hug my little nieces 😍 Wish you all a happy Friday from the stunning all-marble bathroom at @seventybarcelona 💃 PS. Mirror selfies will be my 2020 thing 📸 So handy that you don't need anyone around to help you 😜
I took this picture when Julian was 6 months old👶 We were here to celebrate Christmas and my mom watched him for a couple of hours while Lasse and I visited La Sagrada familia and went out for lunch... . Julian will turn 3 in July and these days I'm visiting schools for him to start in September. . If anyone had told me back then that he would start school in Barcelona, be fluent in both languages, that I would have my own freelance business and that Lasse would be into coding I wouldn't have believed it. But here we are! We still have some way to go for total stability, but we're getting there. Little by little👣 . It turns out that dreams can come true if you do something about it 🌟 What do you dream of? Moving? Traveling? Freelancing? Please share 😍 If you are Danish and search for a community of people who make dreams come true, then head over to @free_livingdk They are soon launching an amazing community with tons of tips and inspiration ⚡
Perks of life in the South: Midday pasta, wine & Perks of life in the South: Midday pasta, wine & sunshine. And if followed by a siesta then we're really talking quality of life 🙌 Yesterday, my freelance-partner @gemmaaskham and I spend the day at @seventybarcelona to get to know the place (tough day at the office, I know!). Next week I'll be back to use their space to work with my other freelance-friend @annaboschdemont 📝 And why work from the lobby of a hotel??? Because this is lobby is made for it!! So Barcelona remote-workers, come! This is where the fun happens💃 (well, in between the 🤓📝📞💻). Ohhh, and it is a hotel, so also brilliant option when visiting Barcelona 😎 And the spa @seventyspabcn is also 👌👏🙌
No place combines fashionable rooftop bars and lau No place combines fashionable rooftop bars and laundry like Barcelona does 💃👕👖 . I've been giving my blog (www.MyTravelAtelier.me) very little attention lately. To the point I've considered stopping writing at all. Because I've accomplished what I started the blog for years ago: Getting through the needles eye into the publishing world (and actually being paid to write travel guides🙌). . Then came our Latinamerican adventure, which was fun to write about and has been useful to others. But now? Now that we live in Barcelona and are pretty much fed up on travel experiences for a while, I was unsure whether to get back to it. Because what to write about? And is the time spent writing worth it??? . Last night I received a message asking for recommendation about Barcelona. And then it hit me: I've received SO MANY private messages asking for recommendation since we've arrived here. So writing about Barcelona would maybe be the way to go now? . I also feel there is a genuine interest in knowing more about the practicalities about starting an online career, moving to Spain and jumping into the unknown in general. Plus what this whole experience has taught us. Am I right, or? So, I'll get back at writing for the blog very soon. If there are any specific topics you would like me to cover or you are interested in knowing more about, let me know in a comment below or in a DM ⭐ Picture is from a recent visit to @polandgracehotel A nice artsy hotel in a local neighborhood 🎨
So long 2019 💨 With our lungs full of fresh Da So long 2019 💨 With our lungs full of fresh Danish air, we're saying goodbye to a year that has been all about breaking down the life we knew. 2020 will be all about building it all up again, but in a much more exotic way ☀ And the same goes for the decade we're leaving: It was a decade of building a strong foundation professionally, personally and as a couple/family. This upcoming decade will build on our foundation to live the life that works for our little family (= time for adventures, sun, playa, friends & family) ✨ Remember that it's never too late to change direction 🔛 Happy New Year⭐
From a little blonde and his parents: Feliz Navida From a little blonde and his parents: Feliz Navidad ⭐🌲🍾 Wish you all some happy days wherever you are ⭐ Pd. Sandwich hugs is our thing 😍
Our schedule the past two days: A morning visit to Our schedule the past two days: A morning visit to the police office to (finally) get my residency card for Spain ➡️ Flight to Copenhagen ➡️ Hugs, kisses and dinner with the family ➡️ Say goodbye to our tenant who has lived in our apartment the past 10 months ➡️ Prepare the apartment for the new tenants who arrive on Sunday (+ cry a little because I'm so sentimental about that apartment ♥️) ➡️ Pack stuff to ship to Barcelona as we're staying there long term ➡️ Fix insurance by phone for our Barcelona apartment at the same time ➡️ Ohh and answer regular business mails... Pfew, it's been some hectic days! Tomorrow we'll celebrate my dad who turns 60 and on Sunday Lasse is flying back to Barcelona, while Julian and I will catch up with friends and fam here in Copenhagen over the next week (+ eat hindbærsnitter every day 😋). . No pretty autumn pics of Copenhagen to share as we've been busy, so here's an evening photo from our balcony in Barcelona 😍 What are your weekend plans? ✨
