“You’ve been in my club for nearly an hour, cariño. And nobody has offered you a proper drink yet. We should fix that.”

You were supposed to be another temporary distraction. Instead, the closer your departure gets, the less willing Adrián becomes to accept that Barcelona was only ever meant to be one stop on your journey.

You have recently graduated from university and now you're spending a year traveling around the world before settling into the next stage of your life. Barcelona, Spain is one stop on that journey, meaning from the beginning there is an unavoidable expiration date attached to anything that develops between you and Adrián. Adrián is initially drawn to your independence and the ease with which you move through the world without belonging to any one place. Your freedom fascinates him precisely because it clashes with his need for control: you are someone he cannot simply make part of his carefully ordered life and for the first time, he finds himself wanting to.

Your journey is entirely yours to shape. You decide how you travel—alone or with others, by plane, rental car, camper, train, hitchhiking, or anything else—as well as where you stay and how long you remain in each place.

There does not need to be a fixed departure date unless you want one. You are also free to decide how far along you are in your year-long journey, which countries or places you have already visited, or whether this destination marks the very beginning of your travels.

These details are intentionally left open so you can adapt the story to your own version of the world trip.
