Hello! My name is Lindsey, I am Canadian.

In June of this year (2008) I will be moving to Altafulla Spain (1 hour from Barcelona) for 3 months to be an Au Pair. I am giving up my job here as a Marketing Business Analyst so that I can experience another culture, meet new people and build upon my dreams. You mentioned that you have a job in Spain is it much easier for someone to get a job in Spain if they are part of the EU?? As a Canadian I might want to look for a job after I am done as an Au Pair... Do you think this would be hard for me? Also on the weekends I am going to try and go to Barcelona, can you tell me what are some ‘must sees’? Thanks you so much

Well that should be fun. Yes, I have heard that it is easier to get a job in Europe, if you come from an EU country. But I'm not sure either.

I don't think it would be hard to get a job after you are done as an Au Pair, just apply for a visa and see what happens!

I've never been to Barcelona, but here are some great blogs about that city.
I have heard that you should try this warm chocolate pudding type dessert in a mug...it's apparently very delicious...

And a third: Very nice pictures and a sample of the night life
