Solo travel experience

I'm on my first trip abroad and I'm in Barcelona. I'm going to see Italy, which is my childhood dream and I want to travel all over Italy. I see Italy in my dreams and I feel like a part of my heart beats here. I visited Barcelona one day and the first building I saw was the Sagra De Familia. I was mesmerized, terrified, hypnotized. I thought it doesn't get any better than this, so I came to Barcelona Marina. Seeing the ocean was also very fascinating. I rode the cable car. I can say it was my most unforgettable experience because I felt like a bird flying over the sea. When I got off the cable car, I was greeted by a very romantic story. So I was very lucky 😍😍

Barcelona is amazing, I stayed in an hostel and met really nice people. I got lucky to find a place where they rent bicycles for a good price. It’s really save to travel alone even at night. The food is amazing and you can also go for drinks everywhere in the city

Solo travel experience

I highly recommend visiting Barcelona. I walked most of the time alone and used the subway and trains. I also walked in the evenings and didn't encounter any unpleasant situations. No one bothered me. People were helpful and kind, but they didn't really want to speak English.
