    In this video, I'm talking about my experience as a Black solo traveler in Barcelona. I chat about beautiful, vibrant Spain, a popular destination for summer travel. But with its beauty comes its challenges. I give my honest opinion of the city from the lens of an introvert and dog mom.

    I am literally doing my morning walk in Zaragoza right now and busted out laughing as you talked about the Guyanese man who talked too much!

    Great video. Frank was like, “Mom, I see it, I hear it, and I am not here for it; no.” 😘❤

    I went this past June, I was on a Metatherian Cruise. Two days in Barcelona I must say i like it. I made sure i said i was Jamaican/American. People were nice, especially at my hotel. I want to visit Madrid n Saville❤❤🔥🔥

    I really appreciated this video again as I prepare for my trip to Spain next month. I will be in Madrid, Barcelona, and Valencia for just under 3 months. I want to stay the longest outside of Barcelona (about 3 - 4 weeks). While I am an extrovert, I don't "party" and I love the beach vibe you described for mornings. THanks for sharing. I trust the perspective of those of us from the Exodus Summit community. I am almost fluent this time around, and I'm hopeful I can conversate with the local people.

      Enjoy your trip!! Valencia is a beautiful city, like a museum outdoors lol. You MUST try the black ink paella. I’m so happy the video helped and thanks for watching 🥹

    I went to Spain and liked it. When I got to Southern Spain. They couldn't figure out where I was from, they kept asking if I was from Algeria. I had to explain I was
    black from the U.S.

      The “where are you REALLY from question” is always fun 🤦🏽‍♀️

    Love the fact you are a "dog mom" while traveling. I recently returned from Rome, Italy. I agree with you about visiting a place, it's hard to like because it is too touristy. I would have probably loved Rome better if I had stayed somewhere outside of Rome, where there wasn't so many people.
    Love this video!

      So true! Part of my journey was learning what kind of traveler I am. I’m CHILL so I don’t mind living outside of a big city where it’s a bit calmer. I can always ride in when I’m up for some excitement but yeah, staying there…ain’t for me lol Thanks for watching!! And the heads up! Rome is on my list

    I've heard that Spain is not as dog friendly as some other countries.

    • @AwkwardBlackNomad

      It was definitely very stressful for my dogs, but it could’ve just been our experience. I saw lots of happy, unleashed dogs but also heard many stories about dog fights/attacks in Barcelona from dog groomers, trainers, and owners

      It is extremely dog friendly. In the highly tourist area you may find it too noisy.

    I love yall, I do, but this seems a little “we are going to steal your organs” ish😊.

    Why do most educated African American women describe themselves as introverts?
    Do they just like being alone with their dogs?
    You have a nice personality. It's a shame you don't share yourself.

      1. Race and education have very little impact on personality. It’s a culmination of environmental factors and genetic predispositions. In other words: not everybody is the same. Also a person can describe themselves however they choose.
      2. I like my dogs. I actually got them while in a relationship. I also love my own company, as everyone should.
      3. Thanks. 😊 I do. 🙃
