Creator's Key Takeaways

We are in Barcelona, Spain. The very first time for us.

The tea time was lovely. It was a little strange though cuz it was all guests from Bolandam having tea together.

We always say if you're traveling, try to have local currency.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Try to have local currency when traveling.
Get a new passport before a long journey to have enough pages for stamps.
Estimate leftover currency usage to avoid exchange fees.
Consider interior cabins for better value on long cruises.
