But I went on my first real adventure when I travelled to Madrid, Marrakesh, and Brussels in December. Wandering through city neighborhoods, looking for the hostel thatâs supposed to be down a back alley, asking for directions in languages you hardly know, trying foods that you canât pronounce. My friend Dan and I had all the travelling and arrangements planned out pretty well, but you canât plan for trying to find your hostel at 5am intoxicated after leaving your 4th bar of the night, or when youâre faced with a warm sunny day in an enormous city you know nothing about. Travelling with Dan was an adventure because we both decided that we wouldn't plan out our days, weâd just explore and if something grabbed our interest, weâd seek it out and do it.
