I Needed This

Strange place to start the video, I know, okay, but no time like the present. My phone's out of battery, so I kind of just want to vlog a little bit for it. But we are on the way to Germany, okay, for the FIBO, FIBO Expo, whatever it is. So the expo actually started today, but I'm not too sure what time I get in at. I think like 3 or 4 PM, but either way, today I'm gonna like check into my hotel, hopefully it's nice, gather my bearings, meet up with a few other people, maybe get a gym session in. We'll see. Either way, it's going to be fun. I'm going to be moving around, and get ready for some Germany vlogs. Euro vibes. Alright people, so we made it to Germany. We're just in Cologne Airport, and that was such a quick flight. Sometimes I forget to take advantage of the fact that I live in Europe. Like, there's so many cool places right on your doorstep. But I've been to like Spain, France, Croatia. Croatia, Greece, Turkey, like pretty much every single country in Europe but not Germany. So that's why I'm very excited for this weekend. And I was just talking to Marijn from Student Aesthetics and we're definitely going to meet up and try get a night out in or something and just have a really enjoyable weekend. So now I'm just waiting on my bag to come out. I'm gonna get that and then go to the hotel and then meet a few of the Nocco crew because they're the people, they're the company that are covering this trip. Okay, got my bag. Now I need to look for the old train apparently. And on the talk of Europe, comment down below what are probably the best places you've been to in Europe, and I'll go hit them up later in the year. Okay, so now we need to suss out this train situation, and we're going to the kind of center, uh, center of Cologne because that's where the hotel is. Okay, we successfully made it to Central Station. I swear to God, that is an accomplishment for me. I am shit at trains, and there's been many times where I've gotten on train and gone on the complete opposite direction. So I'm absolutely delighted with myself. Now time to find the hotel and finally unpack, get settled in. I walk out of Grand Central Station and I come out and I see this thing. Okay, now usually I'm not very touristy, okay? I couldn't give a damn about a cathedral, but that thing looks absolutely amazing. That is crazy. I'd love to take the drone up and around it, but that could be a little bit banned. We'll see, we'll see. Okay, this place is nice. This is what I needed to get me like fashion box of a room back at home. So, room tour. Okay, so let's start with the bathroom. Lovely, clean, white, and a big mirror as well. I love doing hotel reviews. I should be like a professional hotel reviewer. Nice glass sink, big wardrobes, little office space, nice TV. And some comfy looking beds. And then here is a little package that I got from Nocco. Those are my room— that is my name. Could actually go for one of these right now. T-shirts, hats. Oh, a badge with my picture on it! Made it, officially made it. That is hella cool. And some more clothes and stuff. High ceilings as well, which I like. And what's the view saying? Alright, not too bad. It's not the worst. There's some nice cathedral action going on there. Cultured. This is absolutely perfect for me. I'm just really looking forward to having a good weekend here. I've already been talking to a few people and, you know, planning some cool fun things. So yeah, it's gonna be an epic time. And I really needed this as well, you know, like I love traveling. I get a buzz when I travel. I just kind of enjoy vlogging a little bit more when there's a change of scene because there's more to show you guys. And yeah, I just get hyped up, so yeah, I really needed this. I think that's what I'm gonna call this vlog. "I needed this," or something. I don't know, we'll see. Anyways, I'm definitely going to relax for a little bit, lie down, unpack, and get settled and chill. Okay, so my roomie has arrived. Say hello to Mr. Chris Allen, and he has came bearing gifts. Got some— what's this? Asian peanut chicken, so this is what I'm gonna have for dinner. and then some protein sour candy because there's protein everything nowadays. And of course we're gonna have some Nocco as well. So we're gonna chill out for a bit, unpack, and then I want to get a gym session in, so does he, so we're gonna look for somewhere to train. Get massive. Yeah, get massive. Okay, so the update is we are going around looking for a gym called ExtraFit. The gyms have such funny names here. They're like ExtraFit, McFit. McFit. Yeah, McFit. I was like, bring me to McDonald's, screw McFit. So we're gonna go there now, have like a casual workout, Maybe train arms or something easy, and I'm kind of just like enjoying driving around and looking at the sights anyways. So we'll check in with you when we get to the gym. I also am planning on meeting this videographer here too. Alright guys, so you probably noticed the quality just stepped it up a little bit in this vlog, and my man while I'm over here in Germany is my boy Olli, who I'm going to link all his details down below. He's going to help me capture some epic footage this weekend. So now we're in the gym, we're having an easy session. We're just going to hit arms and have a bit of fun. Let's get it cracking. Alright, so this is Valentina. Why don't you tell my channel a little bit about yourself?

So I'm @ifoodiekiniPro. I'm a lifestyle and fitness blogger, I guess. Travel a little bit too. I like to travel.

You travel a lot.

Quite a bit, yeah. Yeah, so basically what I do, I like to just share like my workouts, my life, my nutrition, just anything that I can bring to you guys that's going to bring you value and that's going to help you out in your journey.

And we are also part of Alfie Together. Don't forget. Yeah, yeah, that's the type of thing. And Valentina, her channel is one of the most consistent channels I've ever come across. Be sure to go check it out, everybody.

You try to keep us down, but we are backing out because the time is now. Scream until you're breathless, till our voices drown, but we ain't backing down. Oh, our time is now. Don't want to turn the light out, don't want to feed the fire. Tell me what to do.

Okay, so we're back at the hotel. Workout done, really good time. Again, I love expos. One of the main reasons I do love them is that you get to meet people, like-minded people that you haven't seen in a while. So I had a really good time with that workout there. And now I haven't eaten a proper meal all day, so I got a big old salad there. And now we got some steaks brewing up back there as well, and man loves steak. So I'll show you that when it arrives. Solid, solid meal. So we got chicken breast, steak, sweet potatoes, normal potatoes, and then we got some veggies here. This is just what I needed after today. We couldn't resist it. What about the cheesecakes? Worth it? Yeah, that's decent. Okay, cheesecakes on deck. Cheesecakes are happening. Okay, so that wraps up today's vlog. We traveled to Germany, we got in a workout, we saw some familiar old faces, we unpacked, we checked in the hotel, we ate cheesecake, we had some nice food. All in all, it was a good day. Hit some arms too, just to make it even better. But so now this is the start to the Germany vlogs. I hope you enjoyed.
