During February Break, I went on a new adventure. Normally, when I visit a new city or country, I’m with my friends. This time, because of circumstances a bit complicated and confusing, I went to—not one or two or three, but—five cities completely alone. Nîmes, Bayonne, Foix, Pau and Perpignan. It was extremely different to travel by myself. During every other trip, in France and before this year, I always went to a new place with friends or family and I could talk to them about the sites or anything thought that wandered across my mind. But seeing each city alone gave me a new experiences untainted by the opinions of others. Each city was seen through only my eyes. This new experience gave me another level of independence because I was entirely alone with my thoughts and opinions while experiencing something completely new.
