The German ways-

Hello guys,
Woow it’s been over a month since I had posted last. ( I am ashamed) Too my excuse, there is none but that I felt busy and was trying to emotionally sort all of the happenings. It’s been busy: Working, more working, helping my mum move, grandma time, friends time, my brother and his family came to visit so I made time, and then getting ready to go back to BARCELONA…. Well I am sitting here and have the time of the world. My brother is gone, my parents, the 2 dogs are sleeping and snoring and dreaming right beneath my knees. So It couldn’t be any better timing to tell you about the new drama and new plans.
What a pity I can only say…..
To start the story off. I went and left the house 4 days after the last post. It was too much, I got money to drive down and took the opportunity. I had some South Americans that I said goodbye too, which all the sudden our conversation was evolving about them joining me on the ride. Well why not that 16 hour drive is harsh, so why not share it with some fun companions. So 12 hours later a few last needs and underwear and socks packed I had 3 friends come join me on my trip to Paris…. Ugh lala, haha, It was one hard drive… I’m not going to lie. We drove over Pyrenees and finally got into Paris after 16 hours. And Paris was soo beautiful. I loved loved it… Not only the City but the Men were very handsome, that I must say. I was literally banging my feeds and falling and tripping over endless benches and other obstacles that had come in my way- of course while my eyes were following these OUGH so many beautiful men. Eye candy that it was!
We ended up not finding a source of internet for hotels, so we just decided to sleep in the car.. Man it was quite crazy. After another 6-7 hours ride we finally made it to Germany, Frankenthal. Ou was I so happy. It was great. My mum cooked for the friends and we had company for 2 days. Which was quite funny, since my friends only spoke Spanish. But yes…. Then I got here and started working almost immediately at the Restaurant. It was great. I needed to find a better money source though, because my others weren’t long nore did I get payed a lot. So my Beautiful Friend Julieee, helped me out so much. She got me hooked up with Promotion jobs were I made in 8 days working about 750 euros, which is amazing. So I was happy. My room I found through “loquo” the Craig list of Spain. How lucky I found a room in Barcelona right were 2 girlfriends live, 330 euros a month utilities included, furnished with a BIG bed… It could not have been any better what a great price. My flight was booked. Everything was great!….
13 of July, 9 hours before my flight goes:
I went to withdrawl money from my Credit Card which I had gotten a month before, the card remained empty with its full amount of 2 G to take out. The plan was perfect.. And maybe I was going to see if my money had come yet from the Promotion jobs I had done (by the way, I worked for Coca- Cola, Michelin Company I had some awesome cool jobs).
I got to the bank, when My mum/ brother calls me and says: We cannot drive you to the Airport ( Which listen this had been a plan since I at least 3 weeks and no one seemed to be bothered by doing so) So I am shoked totally sad. The reasons for why my brother didn’t want to take me was. He didn’t want to wake up the kids this early. Then My mum said she had appointments which weren’t until way later. Basically everyone was being selfish.. And how could u explain… being the great family I had always had. Never accountable or a better word… just never there in need. It felt like a diaper full of shit (excuse my language) smashed into my face. Because since I had been here in Germany I hadn’t felt very welcomed, more bothering and not welcomed. Well Life is tough but you have to take on the cards you are dealed. My family never had been there, when I was homeless and under age no one cared to help, I had no home to go to, and now nothing is going to be different. Well So I cried. I tried to get money out of my account and both my German debit card wasn’t working and neither was the credit card from America. I was shocked, came home, got into big arguments at home, drove to my around and finally went to my grandmas house to settle more thing. Well I ended up coming back home in the middle of the night few hours before I would have had to leave and then I was under a ticking time bomb. Shall I go risking finding out not to have any money right there and then or stay and be on the safe tracks. I couldn’t decide and was very confused. Well I finally said. Andy you are an adventurist- so do it. You’ll find ways. So hopp hopp, my mum drove me al final…. We got there late because of car situations, road works and slow driving of my mum :D they said they wouldn’t except my suitcases. Nice, Then she even said and really we cant really take u either… Shityyy sh shh shh… man So everything that could have gone wrong did, the person that was supposed to help me find jobs had moved to the USA and everything kind of got to me. I after 7 month of adventuring got scared and said, I need a plan B. So here it is… I am going back to America, to my best friend <3, I am going to built my life to that stable cuddle hood and start college al final. And can I tell you I have been so ready to go to school. I am sooo excited and ready. We’ll see what will come out of all. But the next “cheapest” return flight isn’t until end of September beginning October, So what the heck shall I do? Well no worries, miss adventure got some plans. Since my money is stuck for 1 week and half I just decided that I was going to work somewhere cool. Get money while a a great place! - hmm sounds like amazing. Mallorca here I come. Promotion job including board mas o menos… yes enjoy the beach while working! Yes sounds better then the good ol’ german ways… stay tuned!
