I traveled solo to Europe for the first time. I was scared, I had doubts, and one question kept following me: will I be able to handle it all? This is the story of what happened, from not being able to cross a street in Berlin to walking alone through Madrid at night feeling better than ever.

A Sunday in Barcelona, a washing machine spinning, and the realization that "doing nothing" doesn't exist. When the body slows down, the mind keeps going: processing, connecting, closing loops. This post is about those moments of apparent stillness where everything actually happens.
