			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Following <a href="http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/">Tim Ferriss</a> Advice in his book The 4-Hour workweek, I&#8217;m taking my first &#8216;mini-retirement&#8217; in May, I&#8217;ll spend 5 weeks in Barcelona, I&#8217;ve rent a nice flat (no hotel this time) and took my flight tickets. I&#8217;m planning to (re)learn spanish and try new things like Learning Salsa or just take my time to make new friends.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s my &#8216;first&#8217; time choosing to go alone somewhere, I mean all of my life I traveled with friends, girlfriends or relatives and never really alone, I think reinventing yourself and creating new challenges, whether your a photograph or not, is always a good thing.<br />
If, like me, your someone who gets bored really fast, you should really read Tim Ferriss book&#8217;s, it could open your eyes on so many things.</p>
<p>I hesitated a lot for this first mini-retirement between New-York and Barcelona but in the end I knew I wanted to spend at least 2-3 months in New-York, while this time I could only leave for 1 month, so Barcelona became the obvious choice.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve already been to Barcelona last year for 14 days and enjoyed it, but I really didn&#8217;t do many things while in there, so this time I&#8217;ll really try to live like a Local, and shoot everything I can with my conpadre the 5D MKII !</p>
<p>You can see  below some photos I took last year, with my little canon G10, I did travel light and regretted it, so seriously guys, if your a photographer don&#8217;t be a pussy and just take your big gun everywhere with you!<br />
