adventure advice barcelona before travel

30 Before 30. Thirty days in Europe. Thirty inspired moments of adventure to live it up before my 30th birthday. Just the idea of it gave me purpose. Here was a reminder that I could choose a new path, even if it was only for 30 days.
A little background first.
Ten years ago, if you had told me that at 29, a normal week for me would be taking Sienna Miller out for a night on the town, going to see an NBA Lakers game across the court from Jack Nicholson, and taking a celebrity-filled private jet to Vegas for a Maroon 5 concert, I would have laughed and said, “Order me another shot, crazypants”— of course, secretly hoping you were right.All Rights Reserved

"How long are you planning on staying here in California?" he asks. "I'll be here for a week or two." "I bet I can change your mind," he smirks. "What do you mean by that?" I smirk back at him. "I'll take you on an all paid adventure around California," he explains. "I'll make you want to stay." "No strings attached?" "No strings attached." *** 'No strings attached' seemed to be our motto as we grew closer, but things change. Feelings change. Relationships change. Everything changes. For better or for worse.

#Me too... I'm a waitress on cruise ships by Artemissiana

Miami, Hawaii, Bahamas, Bora-Bora... "There must be a way to visit all these exquisite places besides in my dreams", thought Ann obsessively, during her last year of college. And indeed, she finally found one, despite her meager means, being born in a modest family, in a former communist country. 22 years old, with the college graduation out of the way, she applied for a job on cruise ships, halfway across the globe, in the sunny, exotic Caribbean Sea. It was just a waitressing job for which she had to leave everything behind... her family, her friends, her entire way of life up until then. Even her higher education was useless in this new endeavor of her life, but what else was there? Her wish was to travel, to see the world, to experience new cultures and being poor was not going to stop her. Little did she know about how excruciating would be to adjust to the life onboard, as part of a crew made of 1000 people from 77 different countries. 77 different cultures, traditions and customs, trying to make it work while sharing tiny, petty living quarters, in a prison like décor, located under the sea level, while working around the clock to create a dream vacation for thousands of rich, spoiled passengers. Shortly, the notion of cultural differences turned into a cultural abyss, but Ann finally discovered that the only two things uniting people across the globe are love and danger.

More than a match | Alexia Putellas by tw_to_tvd_

Gracie had always heard the stories about Alexia Putellas' obsession with football, but it wasn't until she joined Barcelona that she truly understood. The captain seemed to live for the game, nothing else mattered. At first, Gracie couldn't stand it. She had joined the team to prove herself, but Alexia's cold, relentless focus felt like a barrier she couldn't break through. But as the season went on, Gracie started to see what lay behind Alexia's intensity, a fierce drive to win, to lead, to be the best. And slowly, without realizing it, Gracie found herself drawn to it... and to Alexia in ways she never expected.

As the World Caved In by p0orbaby

Eden Astor has always been impossible to ignore: prodigy on screen, disaster off it, her name a fixture in headlines as much as in film credits. What she doesn't expect is meeting someone who might see past all of it, and force her to decide who she really wants to be when the cameras stop. Alexia Putellas x Original Chatacter

'There's a ding from the speakers and the voice comes back, "We will be arriving in Barcelona in seven hours. Feel free to move about the cabin and enjoy your flight. What am I going to do for seven hours?' You're gonna fuck John Juniper, that's what.

My Backpacking Memoirs by AtomicJoe

In 2017 I embarked on a three month backpacking trip around Europe. Motivated by the many accounts of travel from within religion, I went to learn. But what I experienced was not what I was expecting. This was my first time leaving the UK since I was a child and my expectations of travel and Europe were wildly out of touch. I met more people in these three months than I had in the previous ten years and had many new experiences. I was naive and many of the people I met on my travels could tell just how naive I was. Overland by bus, train and ferry through 17 countries: England, Scotland, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy and Switzerland. To 35 locations: Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Paris, Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, Bruges, Amsterdam, Berlin, Dresden, Leipzig, Frankfurt, Prague, Krakow, Brno, Bratislava, Vienna, Budapest, Timisoara, Sibiu, Brasov, Bucharest, Sofia, Thessaloniki, Litochoro, Athens, Delphi, Naples, Rome, Venice, Milan and Lugano. It is an account of backpacking around Europe, both the best and worst of European backpacking hostels. Long bus journeys, hitch hiking and plenty of walking. I'm not proud of my behaviour or the events surrounding this three month period of my life, but I am proud to have forced myself to do it. I hope that my story will reach people who are in similar positions to what I found myself and to plant the seed of travel as a solution to those problems. Sometimes running away is the solution. It has also been several years since my backpacking trip and I find myself constantly trying to piece my memories together. Not always knowing what city or even country a memory occurred. I feel like my memories are deteriorating so I decided to document them before fall apart completely. I'm not a writer at all and I have tried to be as honest as possible, to my own downfall. I'm open to any advice about how I can improve it.

Lost in Translation by littledaydreamers

Senior year was one giant ball of stress between college apps and nagging parents. Luckily they seemed to be making up for driving me insane the entire year by giving me my dream trip to Europe on a cruise. Unfortunately things in my life don't always turn out as planned. My dream vacation turned into a crazy adventure when some idiotic boy made us miss the boat. "Hey it was an accident!" Aaron exclaims. "And I said I was sorry." "Yeah and I forgave you. But don't expect me not to be mad about that when you caused me to miss my entire cruise and left me in Spain with a pack of gum, a pocketful of money, and--" "And me!" Aaron interrupts happily. I roll my eyes. "And you."

I'll bet you've never had a Friday night like this (Pierce The Veil FanFic) by EllNattila

June. The summer vacation was upon us in Beverly Hills. No more getting up early, just hanging with my friends and boyfriend. This was the life! I was free to do anything I wanted. Time to be reckless. My name is Elliott Skye'd. You could say i was your average teen, but you would be way out of line. I don't fit in, I don't want to. My 19th birthday was a few days ago, but I have been drinking since I was 15. I was allowed to though. My mum hated my attitude so I was with my dad and his girlfriend at the moment. His girlfriend is into the same stuff as me, but she is extremely pretty. I look up to her as a role model. My dad doesn't really care, he is like me, but is 38. Smoking was one of my bad habbits. My mum locked me in a closet, when she found out I was smoking. Mean but it worked. My boyfriend, Jaime Preciado, has been happier ever since I stopped. His spikey hair had a strip of blonde in, which made him extremely adorable. A year ago, I persauded him and his friends to move down here from San Diego. I am glad I did.
