How to plan your trip to Barcelona – the minimalistic way

In short: Money, passport and tickets. Got that? Then you´re fine.

Feeling overwhelmed with planning your trip? Sometimes planning your trip is almost as fun as actually going. It gives you something to look forward to during the cold, dark winter months, or on a really grey, boring day at work. But sometimes it´s easy to get overwhelmed by all the planning, and sometimes you just want to grab your bag and go.

The three item checklist

Did I forget anything? We all know that semi neurotic voice in our head on our way to the airport. But if you only remember to bring your money or credit card, your passport and your ticket, you can treat any other mishap as part of the adventure.

That makes travelling within Europe to Barcelona extremely easy and perfect for the spontaneous grab-your-bag-and-go trip.

There is a great appeal in just grabbing your things and go, like you just robbed a bank. Sometimes spontaneity is just the thing you need. But it´s often blocked by overthinking and procrastination. Crossing the borders to another country for a short, sweet adventure is nothing that needs to be contemplated. Just go. Let your feet do the thinking.

Just remember these three things – conveniently enough our brain seems to like to memorize things in groups of threes – you will be fine. Are you wearing clothes? Then you are alm
