My trip to Barcelona is coming up in April! I can not wait to see my friend again, see Spain for the first time, eat delicious seafood and get a really authentic experience! I’m so excited to be staying with someone who lives there, and who can recommend good restaurants and walks and things to see. As a sort-term tourist I often feel that I could be doing a better job- that I’m missing out on something that I just don’t know about. When I’m with someone who’s knowledgeable about a place I’m more comfortable with the idea that I’m really getting a taste of what this place is like.
