I was very lucky to be able to travel over the spring break, to countries that I have always dreamt of going, France, Italy, England, and Spain. It was only a short trip of 10 days but I surely made the most of it. Occasionally skipping sleep for a few days, but Fashion School has trained me to become very adapted of functioning without any sleep, coffee does the trick too. It was such an awesome experience, I got to stay with some of my local friends and got to see their lifestyles and eating and hanging out with them. Got to see some of the most greatest museums in the world in Paris, Lourve and d'Orsay, saw amazing architectures designed by the famous architect, Gaudi. Felt very lucky and content also inspired. Would definitely go back to Europe again but I think I would like to take my time and take extra spending money next time. But my spontaneous unplanned Europe trip was still very worth it. Empty pocket but satisfied eyes, mind and stomach. I easily took more than thousands of pictures in 10 days, here are some of the highlights.
Arc de Triomf, in Barcelona. Where the adventure begins.
Barcelona street at night. We tried to look for our friends apartment with a small tourist map. Ended up having to stop anyone we see on the street and ask for directions.
Had a good night sleep, got up early and left the house to begin a 9am-6pm walk around Barcelona city.
Sagrada Familia by Gaudi. It was amazing and breathtaking.

No photos were allowed inside the d'Orsay Museum, but I really wanted a photo of this painting, Olympia by Manet.
Back in London the next day. This is inside the British Museums. I came to see mummies though I was kind of done with museums having to squeeze two of the greatest museums in one day, the Lourve and d'Orsay in Paris. But I kind of wanted to see mummies so I came anyways.
