Inception

So. I finally understand the need some people feel to create a travel blog. Upon being asked, "HOW IS BARCELONA?!?!" I immediately feel excited, but frustrated. Because how on Earth are you supposed to sum up so many different facets of one city, in one sentence? You can't. Well, maybe you can - but I can't. Which is why I will attempt to give both anyone who reads this, and myself, as accurate a picture as I can paint of this absolutely breathtaking city, through this blog.

That being said, I am starting this a month into my travels, so I'm going to skip the part where I describe how infatuated I am with every nook and cranny of every street and valley. The juxtaposition of modernity and history, the open-armed friendly locals, the beautiful view I greet in the morning and say farewell to at night. I have to skip over all of that, but hopefully based on my subsequent stories and thoughts, you'll be able to gather just what type of place this is.

Don't get me wrong - this medium will contain both the good and the bad, but hopefully I'll encounter more positive things that will inspire me to write than negative ones. This may just end up being something that only I keep up with so that I can remember every emotion I was feeling during my time here. Call me Narcissus, but I am completely satisfied with that. If you are reading this, thanks! I'll try to make it worthwhile. If it's not, sorry? Slash stop reading? Anyway it's awkward to write as if you have an audience, so I'll stop now. Here's to BarceLOCA, and enjoying the crazy ride.
