Wine & tapas in Barcelona |
Travel does wonders for the soul. It doesn't have to be far. But going somewhere that's outside of your daily (or weekly) "normal" gives a refreshing perspective.
It has helped me appreciate the many things I have here at home - community, familiarity, routine, constant sunshine (even though I'd be fine with some change in the weather every now and then ;) haha) - while satisfying my desire for adventure, change, exploration, learning something new.
Finally got to see Ally IN SPAIN! |
A couple of weeks ago, I got to spend a weekend up in Barcelona, visiting a few friends, seeing a bunch of sights, relaxing, enjoying some good wine, exploring the city - and even going up to Girona for a day. It was a wonderful weekend away, a nice change of pace, a breath of fresh air, and a fun adventure!

Exploring Parc Guell - Gaudi's house! |
It was an ideal time of year to go - not quite peak tourist season yet, so there weren't too many people, and the weather was great (aside from the rain our first day there)! If you have the chance to go to Barcelona, I'd definitely recommend going in late Spring or early Fall if you can. :)

There will probably always be a thousand reasons not to travel
- even for a quick weekend trip -
but it's completely worth it. Vale la pena!
Take advantage of flight deals,
find a cheap train ticket,
plan a short road trip with someone...
go on an adventure.
Your soul will thank you.
