first time in barcelona | eating tapas, thrifting & exploring the city

I can’t believe that I am finally in Barcelona!! I have been wanting to visit Barcelona for such a long time and I am so excited to show you what Helgi and I did during our amazing trip. We didn't want to plan too much ahead of our trip because we love getting lost in the city and let things unravel. We had lots & lots of yummy food and found quite a few unique pieces in some thrift stores. We completely fell in love with the vibe and atmosphere of Barcelona and omg, the city FILLED with dogs!!
I really hope you will enjoy this week's video and if you haven't visited Barcelona yet, this is your sign to book that trip!! biggest hugs and see you next week xx love y'all

I really like that your boyfriend always smiles when he looks at you ,and he always listens to you carefully ❤

[@birtahlin]

I’m feel so lucky!! 🥹💞

[@xjapan3]

That's true! Helgi is a good guy! He seems like he would be easy to travel with. Birta, will you discuss more about your thoughts on house swapping? I would have a lot of anxiety. How do you manage that?

[@tayaaliz4088]

you’re so right, i usually don’t like to watch vlogger where there is a couple. no hate, just usually sometimes it feels like the secondary party isn’t too comfortable with being in vlogging. but her boyfriend seems to really enjoy it, to support it, and i’m not sure~ but think of it as fun because it documents their love and happy moments together. 🥹

[@YaoYao-g3l]

[@joyjung-u9v]

I've always wanted to say that, too~both of them look kind and lovely.

[@koko.love.22]

you guys are the most gorgeous couple ever!! the way he looks at you😩

awww❤️

[@divaldoenzo4742]

I know is Birta channel, but the jump between you two explaining each one the next activity is a great idea, gives the video so much more movement and dynamic.

[@birtahlin]

Traveling is the best! I need to check out Barcelona again as it has been a long time since I first visited. I also like that in a few shots I could see the price of the food/beverages just to get an idea of costs.

Love the vlog as always! ❤ how do you ensure safety when house swapping, do you have any tips?

[@birtahlin]

if you do it through www.homeexchange.com/ , then I think the website has some sort of insurance for people, like on Airbnb. But we did our just through Instagram and we got to know each other through facetime, but there are always some risks💜

I love your day 2 sunglasses with the black top and thrifted dress!! Where are the sunglasses from?? 😍😍

[@xjapan3]

I didn't see what you decided yet. I wonder if anyone else likes the lace by the edge of the shirt. Normally, I wouldn't be a fan, but I think that shirt works pretty well as a casual top for summer. But only if it's a good deal!

Nice to see more of your fiancee appearing in front of camera :) and see what both of you are doing on your travels. I am sure both men and women are interesting in current trends and food and travel gives a sweet couple experience to us. You will probably sleep for a week when you arrive back home. I bet Matilda misses you both so how does it work since you know the people you are swapping with are they looking after her?

[@birtahlin]

happy that you enjoy seeing more of Helgi, since he loves being in the videos with me💜 yeah I think Mathilda misses us but she is having the time of her life at the cat sitter's house😅💞 big hugs xx

The quality and workmanship of HQDUPS's high-end imitation bags are very satisfactory. The soft and delicate leather shows that the materials are quite good. The texture of the metal accessories also makes the bag look very high-end. The fine processing of details makes this bag look no less inferior to the original.
