If Italy is love of my life, then Spain is my that friend who helped me to become braver.

I took my first solo trip to Spain exactly 5 years ago on this very month. I still remember the day. It was first of July. When and where was your first solo trip? How’s it?

I lived in UK before for my study, away from my home and family. So it may come as surprise to you if I say I never travelled alone before Spain. It was always with family or friends, even in UK. So planning a solo trip to Spain was like a whole new experience to me.

Like any other south-east Asian family, my parents were pretty over protective too. It wasn’t easy to convince them, but they have a stubborn daughter as well. They couldn’t understand why would anyone want to travel alone! What fun in it? I asked myself the same question. Why? And the stubborn girl inside asked me back, “why not?” 🤷♀️

It was an eye opening journey. It turned me into a dream chaser from a dream maker. It made me realize how lil credit I used to give myself. It helped me to understand my self worth. It taught me to trust my gut feelings and my strength more. It gave me the confidence to explore beyond my comfort zone and make friends out of strangers. At the end it made me a storyteller. 🙂

5 years ago, as a solo traveller I was pretty naive. I didn’t have any fancy camera, nor I was any good at taking breathtaking shots. All I had with me was my pretty basic old iPhone. I was mostly busy to observe and enjoy than taking pictures. I hardly have my own pictures from that trip. Even though my camera’s memory was less full, but my own memory is full of beautiful moments.

If you are reading this caption, and contemplating whether to take a solo trip, my earnest suggestion to you would be “YES”! Just take that first step and it will open all the doors for you. Trust yourself! ❤️❤️

Location: Sant Pau, Barcelona. If you think that amazing building is some sort of museum or decorative monument, you are wrong. This is the most beautiful hospital I have seen in my life. I literally went to see it twice. If the hospital is this charming, then I would not mind to be a patient. 😍
