Life at Mejlgade street

I got used to be a nomad in Århus, and I'm learning to carry less and less, only the necessary goes with me. Of course I would like to have a place I call "home" for a longer period, but rent is expensive to keep when you are always traveling around. Living rooms and couches became "home" and they will continue to be for the next two years!

Last week I moved again, I think it was the 7th or 8th time in one year I live here. I live together with Daniel, the current LCP of AIESEC UNI - yes, again, AIESEC helping me...

The interesting part is that my daily life got reduced to 200 meters... I live, work and study in the same street: Mejlgade, which also comes to be the oldest street in Århus - over one thousand years old!!

"The original city [of Århus] grew up around the mouth of the Århus Å river. Here the Vikings decided to settle because of the location's excellent potential as a harbour and trading position. The Danish word for "river mouth" was at that time "AROS", and this is the word from which "Århus" of today originates. During the Viking Age a cluster of houses along the river up to Immervad and down to the Mejlgade street constituted a small urban community encircled by an earthen rampart and a moat."

I live at number 5, last floor with an amazing sunny terrace (able to climb up to the roof)

I study at the backyard of number 35, Kaospilots.

And and work at the number 24, cleaning a cool bar called Ris Ras. It's easy and I do it in the morning before going to class. The benefits includes "under the table" cash, free (good) coffee and very cheap beers, besides lots of nice staff.

But this is only for this month, in October I'll spend two weeks in Copenhagen and perhaps go to Brazil until January!
