A few weeks ago I spent a day in Barcelona. While I absolutely have plans to go back and stay longer, the sheer number of people on the streets made my COVID agoraphobia start whispering shit in my ears... I'll go back when the world gets back to normal.
But while there I did an AirBNB Experience that combined my love of tangible results from my own hands, learning new things as part of my travel experience, and shoes. I made a pair of espadrilles.
OK, so I didn't make the shoes. I learned how they are made, learned the history of the shoe, decorated my own pair with the ribbons that keep them on, and learned several ways to tie them.
It was so much fun… and really interesting to understand how this vivacious couple had creatively saved their business during COVID by creating video workshops for people trapped in their homes.
The finished product…. Just waiting for an occasion.
