WOW sounds like such an amazing time you had – TAKE THE CHANCE! I believe life will always work out for those who are willing to take chances and explore the world without barriers…

Thank you everyone for the kind words! Southern Spain is so gorgeous and full of attitude and passion so I definitely recommend taking a little road trip through it, if you can!

Free alcohol with appetizers is always great

And, thank you for letting me know that I’m not the only one who is “driving a stick challenged.”

Best wishes in all of your travels!

haha, I didn’t get my driver’s license for a long time, it’s a nice excuse to never be DD.

Wonderful story! I’m just as bad, if not worse, with the whole manual transmission thing… I’ve been living abroad (in Florence) for the last, oh, eight years, and I’ve never gotten around to learning how to drive manual. Or drive at all. It’s all public transportation for me. Which is nice, and definitely has its perks, but MAN how I’d love to go on a spontaneous road trip like Katelyn!

I’m glad your gambit has payed off so well! The bigger the risk the greater the reward I say.

I can barely drive stick either! I really feel like I need to learn.

Nice post. A spontaneous road trip always sounds awesome, I’ve tried to do spontaneous, but I like to plan and research too much. But it definitely seems like something I should try at least once. And I just wanted to say don’t feel bad about not being able to drive stick – I’m 25 and have only driven automatics, I’d be clueless with a manual.

I love your advice. Take a chance! I've taken a HUGE chance by coming to Thailand. I travel pretty much everywhere by myself and half the time have NO idea where I'm going, when I'll get there, and what its going to look like when I do. Its absolutely insane but it has been the best adventure of my life and I hope to continue that for the next few months in SE Asia and then Europe starting in August! .-= Alessandra´s last blog ..Cruisin’ the Phi Phi Islands =-.

What a fun buddy trip experience! I love these kinds of stories. I would never go mapless if I were traveling alone, but I’m totally up for it with a friend. That is a seriously gorgeous sunset, btw.

And: “(in Granada alcoholic drinks come free with every tapa you order!)”. I might have to add Granada to my travel list for that reason alone!
