The trip took 54 days, and I travelled through Spain, Portugal, and Morocco. I covered around 5000 km by road. I didn’t plan to write this, but while on the road, I received a lot of “What’s up?” or “Where are you now?” messages from friends. I still don’t know whether they were interested in my trip or just checking if I’m still alive. At first I tried writing a story-like article, but then I remembered that I’m an IT guy who doesn’t know how to bullsh\*t. Anyway, I ended up with this information-packed article/guide or whatever. I hope you’ll enjoy reading it as much as I loved writing it. 😊 ## Introduction After finishing my Erasmus exchange, I wasn’t ready to go home. I feel like Slovenia is pretty dull, and I had about half a year before my master studies continued. Also, what’s the point of sitting behind a computer screen in my room if I can do it on a beautiful beach in Spain? On top of that, I can explore new places, meet amazing people, and eat yummy food. ## Planning My initial plan was to backpack Spain for a month. Why Spain, or why a month? I have no idea; I’ve just never been there and felt like it. My planning process was the following: 1. Book a flight from Ireland to Spain 2. Annoy my Spanish friend to give me travel tips Believe me or not, this strategy works incredibly well. It gave me a rough idea of where I want to go and what I want to see. Another strategy you can use is the so-called “Google Maps Zoom Out” (invented by me). You open Google Maps, zoom out, and visit the cities that are still displayed. If the city name is big, it must be important, right? 🤔 After I got to Madrid, my plans started shifting. I realized that Portugal is relatively close, so I’ve decided to visit Portugal. After that, a friend of mine pointed out that Gibby is close to Africa, so why not visit Morocco as well? I ended up doing this trip: Press enter or click to view image in full size ![My Trip]() When travelling, I did my best to be as spontaneous as possible. I never planned more than three days in advance because I never knew whether I’d like the next place or who I’d meet. Nevertheless, I still wasted a few transportation tickets and hostel stays. Sometimes, I met a really nice person at the last minute and then changed my plans to spend more time with them. ## (Back)packing When travelling, I pack light — and I mean extra light. Some backpackers genuinely thought I was joking when they saw my “laptop-sized” backpack. Here’s everything I had with me: Press enter or click to view image in full size ![]() And here are my packing rules: 1. Go with the minimum; you can always buy stuff later. If you haven’t touched an item in the last two weeks, you don’t need it. 2. Use a backpack that has many compartments. Split your stuff wisely. Also, ensure your valuables aren’t easily accessible. 3. Try to pack in a way that allows you to take anything out without unpacking entirely. 4. Roll everything that goes in the backpack: shirts, boxers, socks, and even dirty clothes. 5. Oversized items such as hoodies, jackets, and towels can be attached to the outside of the backpack. 6. You should have enough clothes for around a week. > *Some people say that taking more is better than less. While this is sometimes true, I don’t think you should do it when backpacking. But I’m also the idiot who’d rather suffer through a headache than take meds, so should you really listen to me?* As great as I am at packing, I forgot about one thing — swimming trunks. Nevertheless, that didn’t stop me. I walked to the beaches in boxers and enjoyed them as much as I would with proper swimwear. I don’t know what people who saw me thought, but it doesn’t matter since they’ll never see me again. 😎 ## Meeting People & Making Friends If I learned anything from backpacking Poland last year, it is that we are social creatures. No matter how introverted you think you are, you’ll start feeling lonely after not talking to people for a few days. Anyway, to avoid the loneliness of the last backpacking trip, I’ve decided to switch up the tactics and try to meet people. Making friends while travelling is easy. Here’s some tips: - **Stay at hostels** — Staying at hostels is one of the easiest ways to meet people. Most hostel people want to be approached, and you already have something in common. Be nice to them, ask them about their trips, and you’ll make friends in no time. Moreover, hostels usually organize social events, e.g. walking tours and parties. - **Act like a tourist** — Or should I say act clueless? When exploring a city, don’t use tech. I know you have all the information at your fingertips, but don’t you think talking to random people and discovering local places is nicer? - **(Calisthenics) gyms** — Working out in public is a great way to socialize. If you’re able to do a few push-ups or pull-ups you’re good to go. I got approached by multiple people asking if I can give them tips for the muscle up. On the other hand, I asked others for help mastering the handstand hold. 💪 - **Dating apps** — If you’re single, you can also use dating apps. Swiping 5 minutes a day will probably result in tons of matches because by backpacking you’re already more interesting than 70% of the folks on there. - **Couchsurfing** — As much as I tried getting kidnapped, couchsurfing didn’t seem to work for me. I signed up on Couchsurfing.com and Couchers.org and sent out many requests, but got no responses. I guess I’m not interesting or cute enough for anyone to host me. ## Spain (🇪🇸) My Spain trip started in Barcelona. I then went to Valencia, Madrid, \<Portugal\>, Sevilla, Cádiz, Algeciras, Gibraltar, and finally, Tarifa. Spain was nice and felt relatively cheap compared to other Western European countries. I loved the Spanish architecture and their “big churches” 😉. Most of the buildings looked like masterpieces, and after a while, I didn’t even bother to stop and admire them anymore. I kind of regret not going partying in Spain, but at the same time, I feel like it would be awkward partying with my backpack, and I’d miss my bedtime. What surprised me the most was that not many Spanish people spoke English. I don’t know whether they actually can’t speak it or just don’t want to. Oh, and to every Spaniard reading this. Hitchhiking isn’t illegal\! > For some reason most Spaniards think it is. I was trying to get from Algeciras to Tarifa (15 min drive). It was Sunday afternoon, and there were no buses. No one picked me up, but multiple people approached me, telling me that it was illegal. Press enter or click to view image in full size ![]() Barcelona (1), Madrid (2), Sevilla (3) ## Portugal (🇵🇹) After spending some time in Spain, I moved to Portugal. My itinerary was Porto, Lisbon, Lagos, and finally Faro. I liked Portugal, even though the cities weren’t as impressive as Spain’s and the streets were too steep for my taste. I don’t think I’ve ever walked as many stairs as I did in Portugal. The best thing about Portugal are the beaches — especially the Algarve. In Lagos, I met an Argentinian and an Israeli. We travelled together on and off for about two weeks. Befriending them was also beneficial from the economic point of view. They both turned out to be great “chefs”, and they prepared multiple meals for us. I’m joking. I love you guys. I’m also convinced that there are no Portuguese in Portugal. Everyone I spoke to was either American, Argentinian, Brazilian, or Aussie. Can anybody explain where all the Portuguese are? Press enter or click to view image in full size ![]() Lagos (1), Porto (2), and somewhere close to Benagil caves? (3) ## Taking Breaks Backpacking can be pretty exhausting. After a month of nonstop moving around, planning how to get from point A to point B, booking hostels, searching for places to eat, being surrounded by people, trying not to get pickpocketed, etc., I burned out. I needed some peace and quiet and decided to book an Airbnb. I stayed in bed most of the time, watched YouTube videos, scrolled dumb Instagram reels, went to a fancy restaurant, and enjoyed some me time. It was really nice and helped me recharge for another month. ## Morocco (🇲🇦) Morocco was a different story. Best for last, I guess? My itinerary was Tangier, Chefchauen, Rabat, Casablanca, Marrakesh, Ouarzazate, Tamraght, Essaouira, and Marrakesh again\! It was my first time outside the EU and my first culture shock experience. Since I didn’t do any research, I had no idea what I was getting into. In my head, Morocco was going to be like a poorer EU country. But no: - It was chaotic and loud. People were everywhere, and it seemed like there was absolutely no order. - Crossing the road felt like Crossy Road, and eating out was like FFA. - There weren’t many (uncovered) women on the street. - I wasn’t familiar with their culture or religion. - I also accidentally came here on [Eid](https://opendoorsmorocco.com/moroccan-culture/eid-al-adha-the-sheep-feast-in-morocco/); one of their biggest holidays. It traumatized me a little bit, not going to lie. 🐑 By my second day in Morocco, I felt so overwhelmed that I started looking up flights back to the EU. I was thinking about Sweden; I think I wanted to see some uncovered blondes? Damn, I don’t appreciate blondes enough. Anyway, when I asked myself why I wanted to return, I realized it was all in my head. I decided to stay another three weeks, and I’m freaking glad I did. Morocco is now one of my favorite places: - I love the hospitality of the locals. People talk to you on the street, offer you tea, show you around, etc. There’s a considerable language barrier, but you can still get around with just English. Also, shout-out to the dude who stopped me walking into the drug cartel. - Moroccan food is delicious. If you’re ever in Morocco, try tajine, couscous, schwarma, and the Moroccan breakfast. It is also incredibly cheap if you go to non-touristic places. - Everyone is easygoing. The bus is 1 hour late? No one bats an eye. You’re a few dirhams short? All good, bro; you’ll pay next time. It feels like the stress is non-existent here, other than their 45-hour work week. - The Moroccan landscape is stunning and highly diverse. They have everything from majestic mountains to beautiful seaside views. - Stray cats and dogs are everywhere. It makes me wonder why people own pets here, when you can step outside and find a dozen animals ready to be pet. Seeing people feed strays always made my heart melt. A lot of “interesting” stuff happened in Morocco. I’d write about it, but I feel like I’m already pushing the limits of people’s attention spans with this post. Press enter or click to view image in full size ![]() Chefchauen (1), Aït Benhaddou (2), Rabat (3) ## Expenses I don’t want to bore you with my expenses, so here’s a brief summary. I spent most of my money on accommodation, food, and transportation. I ate out three times a day: once in a breakfast/bakery place and twice in a restaurant. I avoided doing “touristy” stuff as much as possible. However, when I got to Morocco, there were many fun things to do, which is why my expenses were a bit higher than they could have been. Average cost per day: - Spain: 63.2€ - Portugal: 60.78€ - Morocco: 45.53€ Overall expenses by the expense group: ![]() I think I could have greatly lowered my expenses by eating out less. On top of that, I could have avoided a few more tourist traps. I’m talking about you 23.5€ “gourmet” burger in Lagos\! Press enter or click to view image in full size ![]() To cover my expenses, I did some remote work here and there. Usually, my “office” was quite nice, though sometimes I found myself working from McDonald’s. 🤷‍♂️ ## Conclusion Ignorance is bliss. I’d never have planned this trip if I had known how large Spain is. I still remember looking on Google Maps and thinking that I’d get from Barcelona to Valencia in, at most, an hour and a half. 🤡 Anyway, I really enjoyed this trip and can’t wait to do another one once I’m done with university. I already have a trip in mind, and the next one won’t be as short (and most likely not solo). The cities I liked the most (in no specific order) are: - Sevilla & Valencia, Spain - Porto & Lagos, Portugal - Tangier & Tamraght, Morocco I also loved meeting travellers from all around the world. You guys truly are amazing! If I don’t see you on the road again, I’ll definitely see you in your home countries. Thanks for helping me expand my bucket list.
