Barcelona Yesterday 08/17/17 the horror came to Barcelona. I was in Plaza Catalonia between 2 and 3 o'clock because i'd met with a friend there for go shopping and have lunch together. We were walking for Tallers street, next to Ramblas, where the attack happened. Also we had dinner there. At 2 almost 3 I took the underground for go to my job, which is in Balmes street, in the Gracia district, pretty close to the centre. I was working, i had my break and then when i came back to the office my coworkers told me: a terrorist attack happened in Ramblas. It was unbeliveable, actually at the begining i was between laugh or cry, i didn't believe the fact of a terrorist attack happening where i was two hours ago. People start calling me, friends and family, also i did contact with friends who live in Liceum and in the Gracia district. A friend had his mum on a shop hide, no one could go out. My boss told me: no one can leave the office, stay calm. The catalan police is recomending stay closed because a man scaped and he has a gun also there were gunshots. I knew i was safe in my office, despite of i saw all the emergency cars through the window, the helicopters, and all the news that i was reading online. All the panic, the terror... It was insane. The fact of don't know what to do, how to act. How go home if the underground and train weren't working. Luckily i have friends in the city and the offered me a place to stay if i can go out of my office and go to my house wasn't possible. Right now i'm going to work. I'm taking the train and people is treating to act normal, but i'm still scared and affected. Everything can happen in every place of the world. If i don't feel safe in my small town, how can i feel safe in Barcelona city? I trust the police and all the emergency services, i know they're working so damn hard and people say that if and attack happened yesterday there, it won't happen again in the same place because the security is very high. But mistakes happen and nobody can know everything, the terrorists plan every step that they make them taking into account the police acts. My fear it's mainly the fact of that an attack have happened on a place that i was working months ago, where i usually spend my weekends and where i was yesterday morning. It's a place that i know, where i am used to visiting and it's shoking, i'm feeling unsafe, because it means that no matter how you know a place, the worst things can happen in the places that you completely unexpect.

REFLEXION In 2015, I was in Ireland working on a farm in the summer period. It was the best experience i had until the moment. When I came back, I was worried about my future, because i though as a student of law that i was, that maybe i had been wrong all the time focused on my studies in law when the reality was that i wanted to stay working in the countryside, with nature, not in a office doing a boring work everyday, with a lot of papers and answering the phone. Right now, I don't think like that because i finished my degree, i realized that i like what i studied and the jobs which the degree offers me but it doesn't mean that i don't think in come back to the farm, stay in contact with the nature, the animals and their freedom, the organic food and the grass smell. Everything was almost perfect, i felt comfortable and all people i met was the best part of my trip: people from America, France, Italy, and Spain. Of course national people from Ireland as well. We were working together everyday, 7 hrs, 5 days for week, and the fellowship, understanding and friendship grew up quickly. Right now as i said, i finished my degree and i'm looking for a job, i am trying to learn new languages and then i could travel, doing what i really want.
