Custom Travel Experiences
"Travel. Your money will return. Your time won't." -Unknown
I firmly believe that no matter whether you’re flying solo or coupled up, you should travel alone at least once in your life. I have found these endeavors to be some of the most profound, rewarding, and if I might add – oddly social – experiences. I could continue to rave about the benefits of traveling alone, but perhaps I'll just show you by way of my own experience.

Episode 10: Julie Krause - Traveling Solo
See how I got into traveling solo, what I believe the benefits to be, and what actually happens at a dark dinner when you're alone.

One of My Itineraries
Barcelona, Spain - August 2019
9:00 AM
ARRIVE IN BARCLEONA!
Check in to Hotel Catalonia Born:
Rec Comtal, 16-18, Ciutat Vella, Barcelona, 08003, Spain
Freshen up and head to Boqueria Market Barcelona for lunch. (Lunch was amazing and consisted of sangria, padrón peppers, and gazpacho!)
9:00 PM
DINNER (Quillo Bar - Tapas, Rumba y Flamenco)
Dinner is not taken much before this time in Spain! Which was okay, because it was my birthday, and the hotel sent up a bottle of cava for me to enjoy. I got a recommendation from the concierge for a local place around the corner, and enjoyed a nice glass of red wine and some fine Iberico ham for dinner. That, and conversation with an ex-pat sitting next to me who befriended me!
2:00 PM
GET TO KNOW THE CITY
Meet at Jaume I Metro Exit for Sandeman's Free Walking Tour (don't let the 'free' scare you - these are some of the best activities I've done, particularly in Europe - and it's great to do them early on so you can get tips from your guide & go back to points of interest).Â
Explore Gothic Quarter post-tour!
11:00 PM
HARLEM JAZZ CLUB
As mentioned, I flew into Spain on my birthday. Soul music is my favorite, and I just so happened to find a band, VIRGINIA AND THE WOOLFS, playing this genre at a local club. Did I know anything about the club or the band? No. Did I go alone? Yes. Was it one of the most fun nights of my life? Yes. The highlight being a dance party with myself and a bunch of strangers towards the end of the set.
Let's get you going!
