I’ve never been one for podcasts, I’m SUCH a visua

I’ve never been one for podcasts, I’m SUCH a visual person that I was always bored easily or just unable to focus. I don’t know what changed recently but I’ve been loving them as part of my morning routine. I compiled a few here that I’ve been listening to and I’ve realized 95% are travel related oops hehe but I’m expanding my list slowly. ...#travel #lifeabroad #spain #solotravel #barcelona

FINALLY got around to finishing up this dating eve

FINALLY got around to finishing up this dating event vlog 😵‍💫Anna and I went to a dating event on Feb 13 and here is the video evidence lol. But even though the only boys we ended up talking to were:* a man advertising running club* a man visiting his friend just for the weekend apparently (I was skeptical idk)And yes we did show up almost two hours late BUT we walked, took a train and then walked again for over an hour just to go to this event. So was it worth it? Yes! Did we have fun? Well, I was certainly entertained. Were the men our type? No, unfortunately they were almost all a minimum of 7 years older than us and some were closer to my dad’s age. But hey, we still tried! I love finding events like this to push myself out of my comfort zone and try new things. I’m wary of speed dating so I found this to be a more fun way of meeting someone — a fun vibe and an icebreaker game for those who want to play (we missed this but don’t think we were missing out on much haha). Here’s to gaining more self-confidence, doing it scared and making life fun <3..#travel #lifeabroad #spain #solotravel #barcelona

Introducing: content I’m consuming to stay literat

Introducing: content I’m consuming to stay literate and learning 📖🖋️📻I’ve really enjoyed getting more into Substack reading to combat doom scrolling and even have started off my mornings listening to podcasts!For anyone interested in doing the same, I highly recommend Substack. It’s a very accesible platform with so many amazing writers and every niche you can think of. They’re now even rolling out more multimedia features like audio and video formats and I think it’s really going to grow as a social media. Join me in my journey and let’s keep learning 🫡...#travel #lifeabroad #spain #solotravel #barcelona
