You can also get a little piece from Ikea that goes in the crack between the two beds to connect them better :)

[@lifewithkatie]

omg can’t believe I didn’t know those existed... THANK YOU 🙌🏻💛

[@KristinaKk_xx120]

Katie Horan no problem!!! I hope you can find them :) if not let me know and I'll send you a link!

[@catarina.silvan]

I discovered you through Mariana's instagram, and I'm loving your channel! Take advantage of what Barcelona has to offer. 😍😘

[@marialeonornarciso2659]

I have also just moved to Barcelona from abroad these past few months! I got my first apartment this week so it's really nice to see someone go through the same process and walking the same streets as I do. :) P.s. It would be really nice if you included price points of the restaurantes you visit so we have an idea!

[@gabriellekiedaisch1693]

Could you maybe make a video on how to find apartments in Spain? Like tips, going over the rules of renting and websites you used to find apartments? It would be really helpful. Moving to Spain next year.

[@gabriellekiedaisch1693]

Also where do you put the furniture that you don't want? I have so many questions :(((

[@allstarpriscilla]

So sorry to hear about the apartment! But honestly, not too surprised. The spanish/catalans are very interesting and had a similar experience to you. So glad you figured it out!

[@JillianDaigle]

love seeing everything come together and for such an unfortunate apartment issue you guys pulled through so fast with this one!!

[@lifewithkatie]

thank you so much!! it was definitely a blessing in disguise!!

[@dr.suezettealoysiaandcarla1664]

stay strong, move foward!

[@heyixkristine]

Your sandals are so cuuuuute. Also, the aesthetic for your room....GOALS. I love neutrals lmao I also studied abroad in BCN last summer. This vlog is making me miss Spain so much! I miss those LATE dinners

[@lifewithkatie]

thank you!! the sandals are from naturalizer! and SAME, I keep saying that beige is my favorite color haha, I’m such a fan of neutrals 🙌🏻

[@jessicapinheirods]

Honestly, she’s got the best sandals! I had to order the ones from the previous video and now I’m already going to look into this one! Hahaha

[@Desert_Dreamin024]

Been waiting for this!!

[@loveandlondon]

[@kashyafloyd8988]

I’m literally way too excited every time you post!!

[@brainstrains3253]

Welcome to Spain, you may like it so much you never go back! You're going to have to an amazing, life changing time. I will follow along and subscribe to your channel.

[@valentinagorke409]

I'm also currently moving which is why I find your moving vlogs so interesting!

[@brunafernandes7648]

Hi, I found your channel through Mariana's channel. Enjoy Barcelona 😘

[@lifewithkatie]

awe thank you!!

[@yadirajimenez8156]

Your vlog made me miss Barcelona 💔😢 I studied abroad there last semester before I was sent home because of the coronavirus. I miss the beautiful city! I’m living through your vlog! 💞

[@angge_0509]

If those cubes you removed from the wall fits inside the wardrobe then it would be more space to organize folded clothes.

[@toriirons3114]

I listened to the Gen Z Girl podcast ep that you were on this morning and I was just thinking about how I couldn't wait for your move-in video and here it is!! Yay!

[@lifewithkatie]

awe I love that episode and the podcast in general!! 🤩💛 thanks for watching!!

[@ZeynepCelik-dz4fk]

Hi Katie, this was a very fun video to watch! I am moving to Barcelona next year to do my masters, I was wondering if you could make a Q&A video where you talk about life in Barcelona, schools, apartments and all that :)

[@LisaZheng]

I'm so excited for you, Katie! 😄

[@lifewithkatie]

thanks Lisa!! 💛

[@marias6626]

Im loving these vlogs!! Cant wait to see your room once you finish setting it up!! Also how did you find your roommates? Did you meet before hand or?

[@Heather-nm4qj]

So excited to see how your room comes together!!

[@lifewithkatie]

I can’t wait for the next videos!!

[@FlynaNet]

Hey Katie. Welcome to BCN. My wife and I just saw your move-in video. For pizza try Haissala, it will blow any frozen one out of the water. You can also get it delivered with deliveroo and maybe others.

[@adrianatoribio3595]

Love when you upload! Always great content ❤️ congrats on this great milestone

[@lifewithkatie]

thank you so much!!

[@natachaelizee4891]

Hi Katie, I really like your videos :). I am thinking about moving to Barcelona next year. With which company you found your second apartment?

[@MaddieinMVD]

Love this video! Just a few months ago i went apartment hunting here in montevideo and gosh its different when you're in a new city but so nice to have a place all to ourselves

[@mariacelestecorderolorenzo1685]

Hey Katie, moving soon to Spain to grad school, how did you find your apartment, I’m looking for an option as nice as that one 🥲

[@allthehui]

Loved this vlog! It’s so interesting seeing your life in Barca, even the little seemingly mundane things like grocery shopping become so fun when it’s a new place 😍

[@_Itandehui]

I love watching your videos it motivates me and gets me so excited bcus hopefully next year ill be abroad too! Also do you mind doing like prices and how you did it to get an apartment and all those stuff?

[@FarzanasLaw]

[@honeypotfilms6066]

[@zubairbhatti9765]

[@joyangel9790]

[@meghanhelen5662]

Hi! Love the video’s!! I’m really interested in the company’s you have used for your apartment search (the bad one too) since I’m trying to move to Barcelona too in a year! And any other tips you might have about anything related actually! Maybe you could make a video about it in a while? Thanks!! Enjoy the city! X

[@leabirnbacher4915]

Hey!! I am from Barcelona, and habitaclia, idealista and fotocasa are some of the web pages my friends have used to find apartments around the city!! I hope you find one too:)

[@SamElle]

I AM SALIVATING WHILE WATCHING YOU EAT!! im just eating a pb&j right now hahaha

[@lifewithkatie]

I was so hungry editing the video 😪 the food here is incredible 😍

[@connorgioiafigliu]

I'm in love with your neighborhood! 😍

[@eyracaballero9257]

Amo tu canal ❤️❤️😍😍 un abrazo dese Latinoamerica

[@Brocoree]

Omg your new apartment is so cute!!! Seeing that makes me want to redo my room lol I love IKEA 💘

[@annsg29393]

I haven't even started watching the video and I'm already crying of jealousy. I love Barcelona 😢❤

[@dikshaannamalai]

very early!!! I hope you have a great time And ILYSM Katie

[@yannip2083]

Nice video! How many bedrooms in your apartment and what is the rent? Can you walk to public transportation?

[@priscillacharris1771]

Did you notice more rental apartmentl offers than demand while you were scouting for apartments in Barcelona?, I saw you had time to think and choose between apartments, I've heard that in Barcelona and Madrid that was something imposible to do because rental apartments flew out of the market quickly back in the normal days.

[@Horchatalover22]

what are you planning to do with the things you bought from Ikea when you leave? are you going to give it to Julian and sent it where he lives?

[@lifewithkatie]

either sell it or move it to my next apartment!

[@lids380]

Been looking for an aparment in Barcelona forever now and it's a nightmare.... And I'm a local!

[@lifewithkatie]

it’s definitely a challenge!!

[@RuthRios]

If you can afford crazy prices, it's not...

[@lifewithkatie]

my budget was not anything crazy .....

[@Allie_Moon]

Can’t wait for the next video ;)

[@lifewithkatie]

me too!! 🤩

[@mirandaalexis]

i love your apartment so im kinda glad the original one didn't work out

[@Ana20Monteiro]

I follow you and Mariana for so long and when i saw you two as rommies i kinda scream *.*

[@lleennjoseph1730]

Hey can you tell me which rental company you ended up using please. I am coming soon and I also need an apartment

[@wildtheim]

It's 2AM here in my country and I'm watching you!😍😁

[@winter4156]

at 16 I want to live at spain😊

[@cathpenguin22]

Make sure to zip tie the beds legs together so they don’t split down the middle! (Even with a mattress topper!)

[@alexandraprado7765]

So cool! I also moved to Bcn from Germany last week!

[@katier7974]

I can't go on my year abroad to Barcelona so these vlogs will at least make me feel like I'm there! ENJOY!

[@zath644]

Love these videos!! I feel your excitement 😁😁😁 makes me happy! But also very very nostalgic because i was in Barcelona some months ago for my Erasmus semester and i had to go back to my country!! 😔 But every road of Barcelona and every little corner you show us i get happy that i had seen irl or walked there

[@Ernesto2004]

I love your apartment katie

[@laurakarp245]

How did you get all the stuff from ikea to your house?

[@myriam221]

The foooood 😩😍 would you consider working in Barcelona after your master's ?

[@Fercho22es]

me encanta !!!!!!!!!

[@Mar-bh6xl]

Hey!Im fom bcn, glad u like the city! :)

[@mnd2040]

Is living in Spain cheaper or more expensive than the US? You seem to eat out alot. Whats a typical weekly budget for one person living in Barcelona?

[@11ebq11]

Eating out is generally pretty cheap! Most tapas bars will give you some kind of tapa for free just for ordering drinks. And lots of places have a menu, which is a 3 course meal + bread and a drink for 10-15 euros

[@kennalime5644]

@@11ebq11 tapas for free with a drink? where? I have never seen that :o

[@11ebq11]

Kenna Lime It happened a few times when I was in Madrid. Maybe Barcelona is more touristy so it’s not as common?

[@martap6718]

I'm from Barcelona and the free tapa just for ordering drinks is not commun

[@kennalime5644]

@@11ebq11 okay... maybe it´s Madrid? Because I am from Spain and I have travelled around a lot and I have never gotten such a thing... :( I mean, I wish, but... I didn´t hehe

[@barbarascandiuzzi695]

Hi! ✨ I’m new here and I’m already loving your vlogs 🥰 I’m moving to Spain next year! Do you have any tips/recommendations on apartment hunting? I can be some websites for the apartments as well 💖 thanks

[@barbarascandiuzzi695]

Xoxo to where??

[@barbarascandiuzzi695]

@Xoxo got it!! Good luck tho ✨✨

[@siandienn4686]

I think I don't live too far from you maybe? not too sure, but enjoy living in Barcelona! That Bella Italia restaurant is soooo nice.

[@hola_rossinyol]

Those bad apartments are so typical here in BCN.... unless you have a lot of Euros to spend each month!

[@devraashi1449]

you are living my dream

[@francperezfp]

Hi katie, i also just moved to barcelona a few days ago. I am currently staying in a serviced apartment until i find my own place. I hope we can connect since i only have 1 friend here so far.

[@0miiki]

how long are you staying in barcelona?

[@kennedieblake6523]

Genuine question-how do you afford rent and everything if you don’t have a job at the moment? I’m just curious😊

[@lifewithkatie]

I have been saving for a long time and (technically) youtube is my job!!

[@kennedieblake6523]

Katie Horan that’s amazing!! Congrats on your new apartment in Barcelona 🥳

[@ainasegarra9547]

I hope you love Barcelona!!!! I am from here and there are so many things to do 🤩 Also i have a youtube channel about how is to live in barcelona!!

[@tienminh8745]

Hello 😊😊

[@zoegallagher6739]

How come you and your boyfriend didn’t move in together?

[@sabsi7777]

she said in a previous video that she didnt want to them to be together all the time, so they can get to know the city by themselves a bit and arent dependent on each other. she did a q&a about moving to spain where she mentions that

[@kennalime5644]

@@sabsi7777 oh thanks for explaining! x

[@zoegallagher6739]

Sabrina Elisabeth ah I see thank you!

[@crimsontide4415]

do you really need double bed? can't you remove one of those?

[@juliapierce3513]

a full size bed is so much comfier than a twin so its totally worth it to connect them in my opinion! Personally, the only time a twin bed is tolerable is in a traditional double dorm room in college 😆

[@mellllissssa]

julia pierce Two twin beds together is actually the size of a king bed!

[@juliapierce3513]

Melissa Grace omg that’s rlly big but better than the tiny twin beds lol

[@mellllissssa]

thank you!! 😅🙌🏻 I know it’s easy to make assumptions from a 15-minute video but I’m just trying to share my personal experience and will answer questions that I’m comfortable with eventually!
