10/1/23 - 14/1/23
My first ever Solo holiday abroad. Safe to say I was scared and worried but knew I needed to push myself to the next level.
I had broken my foot a few weeks earlier so I knew this was going to be interesting. The traveling alone was fine, it is easier than you think it is. Just push through your nerves. The spending days to myself with no one that spoke English was the interesting thing. I think I found about 3 people that spoke English and I cannot speak Spanish to save my life. Something I have decided to change!
It was a lovely few days away though, I did naked sunbathing, yoga on the beach, hiked a mountain with a Spanish trig, Visited another town, got some uni work done and just relaxed! Exactly what I had been needing to be honest. It is such a beautiful place to visit.
The mountain was literally 2 minutes away from my hotel, hiking up when it is already about 18 degrees at 9am is hard but beautiful. Getting up the mountain didn't take long to get up, and the view from the top was stunning, over looking the sea. While sat at the top of the trig point, a cute chipmunk came over to sit with me and I even got to see a mum and baby mountain goat! I got to enjoy the hike down with another hill on the way down, some beautiful memorial hearts made from stone on top of one of the hills too.
If you get the chance to get out and hike mountains in another country...do it, you won't regret it. It is just an amazing experience with very different views from the UK.
Solo holidays are a whole new experience I think everyone should experience at some point in their lives. It gives you a different perspective on life and the things in your life. It allows you to enjoy your own company and learn to know yourself properly.
