Twestival Barcelona 2013

Mónica Boixeda Barcelonian, Only-Be, Things to do in Barcelona

We are really happy to announce that we are one of the official sponsors of this year’s Twestival in Barcelona! On Thursday, October 24th, 2013 the Twestival Barcelona 2013 will take place at Sala Razzmatazz in Barcelona and all benefits of this year will go to La Casa dels Xuklis, a home for families whose children are affected by cancer. What’s the story behind Twestival? As the name already indicates social media plays a big role in the success of this initiative. In the words of the creators “Twestival is the largest grassroots social media fundraising initiative in the world.” The first Twestival took place in 2009 and since then nearly $2 million were raised. All events are organized by volunteers and all benefits go to a great cause in the local community. The program of this edition already looks very promising. You can expect performances by Delafé y las Flores Azules and The Pinker Tons among others. All organizers and sponsors have put great effort in not only the musical entertainment, but also the prizes for the raffle. For ticket information, the whole program and more information on how you can get involved and donate please visit the official website and don’t forget to spread the word! See ya there!

We do not want to take away the charming of getting surprised during your trip to New York, but it is always better be prepared before visiting the Big Apple. Don’t panic, even though you’ll encounter many surprises during your trip to New York, our tips will make your whole experience more pleasant, easier and more comfortable. Keep track of the Subway schedule It is important for you to know a few things about the New York subway. It is certainly one of the best ways of commuting from one place to another, because you’ll save the time you would spend at the endless traffic jams that happens on the streets of NYC. Be aware that the subway has a different schedule during the weekends. Given the fact that the subway is one of the most popular ways of transportation in the city, it is difficult to run maintenance works during weekdays, because the city would just become chaos. That´s why it is during the weekends when such works will take place, of course, changing the regular schedule. To get to know all changes in the timetables, visit the MTA website. Also keep in mind that there are lines that do not work during the weekends, so make sure the line you want to use will be actually working. Photo: derekskey Express or Local? You should know that there are two types of subway, express and local. The difference is simple: the Express are faster, because they just stop at some specific stations. On the other hand, the Local are slower, because they stop at every single station. Make... read more

Aleix G. William Do you like travelling?, Travel Tips

Putting aside any extreme example, few emotions are as sad as the return from a dream holiday, especially if it’s been in a completely different place from your home or simply, if you just had the best vacations of your life. Returning to a routine can be a considerable shock, but if you follow our tips you some may keep vacation time on: Look at your pictures once again If you have the place where you´ve been in your head, it´s like you´re still there. If it is still difficult to do so, go over and over your photos, show them to everyone, it doesn’t matter that you get annoying, what matters here is your mood. If you have time, make an Instagram album with the best pics and keep remembering the best moments. Remember, if your head is still there, you are there too. Photo: GoodNCrazy Do not change your diet If you are lucky enough to live in a cosmopolitan city, I’m sure you’ll find a restaurant serving food from your last destination. If you went to Morocco, for instance, you might want to find out where to get the best tagine of the city, but if you had the best vacations of your life in Italy, you’ll have to find the best pizzeria and eat the best of the Italian cuisine. The point is that this small thing will allow your stomach to feel on vacation. I know, it is not the same, but it is better than nothing. Drink a few cocktails on your terrace There is no better feeling than drinking a refreshing cocktail... read more
