CART NOTES is an experimental editorial project inspired by my everyday trips to the supermarket in Barcelona during my Erasmus experience. What began as the simple challenge of creating an “ideal” grocery list gradually became a way to question how we make choices when living away from home.
Through food, routines, and small impulsive decisions made between supermarket aisles, the project reflects on limitations, autonomy, and the notion of free will associated with eating while living abroad. In a context shaped by budgets, unfamiliar products, shared kitchens, and constant adaptation, everyday decisions reveal themselves as both practical and emotional.
By observing and documenting these ordinary moments, CART NOTES transforms the supermarket into a space of reflection, turning the act of shopping into a narrative about independence, identity, and life in Erasmus.
