Let pictures speak 1: Valencia

by Gaby Feile

In case you do not know, I have left Dubai in December and am now in Valencia, Spain. Here, I am taking some months off from working and am practising my Spanish as well as preparing for opening my own business later this year (in Germany). I promised to keep people updated and after lots of thinking and some lamenting, I have decided that the best way to do so is through posts on my blogs.  

I know, the blogs are about communication, and this is why I will find a relation to communication and still keep you updated about what is happening, mainly with photos. Because a picture sais more than a thousand words. The text will be limited which is why I will write the posts in three languages: English, German & Spanish (well some at least)! 


This means for all subscribers or readers of my German blog that they should visit the English blog regularly as here is where I will post the updates. To make it easier for all subscribers, they will receive a little post with the link just as usual. 

And by the way, whenever if I feel like it, I will for sure write about my favourite topic- communications- as well.

Now, come with me to Spain with some photos and comments from Valencia:

Finally, I arrived in Spain!
