What No One Tells You About Traveling and Depression

Let’s talk about depression.

That One Time I Almost Got First Degree Burns and Had a Wardrobe Malfunction in the Sand Dunes in Maspalomas

This is a story about these three unfortunate events, in this order:

1. I wore a dress for a leisurely stroll in the sand dunes in Maspalomas.

2. I almost got first degree burns on my feet.

3. I had wardrobe malfunction in front of two tourists.

Allow me to explain.

I’m about to let you in on a secret.

Seven secrets, in fact. And I don’t want you to keep these secrets. I want you to tell everybody. Because everyone should know.

Are you ready?

Imagine this: you wake up in a colorful port town with white houses drenched in colorful flowers wherever you go.

Imagine you could almost taste the salt water in the air, as you walked past boat after boat after boat.

Imagine cloudless skies, summer sun rays …

And you have the whole place to yourself.

That’s how my trip to Puerto de Mogán started.

Following your dreams is like walking into a crater. It’s all fun and games at first, but then, things start to get weird.
