There I was, again, sitting in a boring, gray cubicle. Meddling through emails as I drank copious amounts of coffee, waiting for something, anything, exciting to happen. At 5:00pm I'd go home, eat dinner, watch TV, and wait for the weekend to meet friends for drinks. I was 24 and already bored out of my mind. Could this really be it? For the rest of my life?
Then one day, it clicked. Life can and should be thrilling. But it's up to me to make that happen.
So I quit my job. I packed one suitcase. I moved to Barcelona, a city I had only seen in pictures. And thus began a wild adventure into the sexy world of foreign men, coffee and cigarettes, late night discos, early morning language classes, paper maps, and life on the open sea.
This is my true and compelling story of escaping the predictable, fully embracing the unknown, and lustfully devouring the beauty, pain and fulfillment that comes with it.
