Toulouse & Albi, France
Toulouse was one of those cities that I had heard of many times before, but didn’t actually know anything about. That all changed when I stepped off the Renfe train into what is a vibrant, energetic and beautiful city. I learned that while modern, while green and vibrant, while open minded and fun, it’s a city with a beautiful soul. That seems like an odd thing to say I realize, but it’s one of those things where "you know it when you see it."
When a city has a lively soul you feel it right away, it jumps out at you and demands attention. Too many times I’ve visited a place that is flat without this pronounced spirit, so when I do find it I feel it in a powerful way. Toulouse is just such a city...
Barcelona,
Spain
A city by the sea yet encircled by wooded mountains....Barcelona is truly a beautiful city with gorgeous architecture, stunning churches, and a pedestrian thoroughfare that is one of the prettiest you will ever see (La Rambla).
The enormous open-air plaza La Plaza Real. The Gothic Quarter with its winding streets and stunning architecture. Barcelona is really like an open-air museum. It is not uncommon to stumble upon groups of people who are occasionally all looking up at something with cameras at their hands...

Building a healthy relationship with yourself gives you the foundation to view everything else with a clear lens. When you change the way you think about who you are, it changes the way you think about everything else.
