Coronavirus

Dear Blog,

I'm sure I'm not the only one who's life this virus messed with. What I do know is I am definitely one of the people who can't complain.

On March 13th I was supposed to fly to Spain, I was so excited, my dream was finally coming true. Then as the time got closer I started to worry, but I figured if I'd get into the country I'd be okay regardless of what happened next. Boy was I wrong. On March 12th I packed my suitcase. I'll be honest, I was a little scared about what would happen once I entered Valencia, but I pushed the feeling down and told myself "it'll be okay, I just have to get there, everything else will work out, it always does." After I was about 95% packed I decided to leave the rest of the stuff for the next day, and chose that moment to check my email. Surprise, surprise, I had an email from the place I was going to work in Spain telling me the project was indefinitely postponed and to cancel my plane ticket. Yay me!

The next day Spain was put under stay in the house quarantine and which I was glad I didn't go there to be locked in a house, I was lost as to what to do. I didn't have to wait long, and long story short, I'm back in Switzerland. I'm supposed to be here for 3.5 weeks, but considering the borders of both the countries closed behind me, I may end up being stuck here for longer.

I can't complain though, I have it a lot better than other people. We go out into nature a lot, which is so beautiful, and makes having to keep 2 meters away from everyone super easy. I hope I can go back to Hungary, my family and the boyfriend after the 3.5 weeks, but I guess we'll see.




I guess I'm again waiting in this beautiful place.
-Nat
