I could never do it.

I traveled to Barcelona by myself in 2020 right before the pandemic shook the world. I had a nice time. I took multiple tours riding a segway which was really cool. Never made it to the beach though. I didn’t go all the way to the top of Sagrada familia but had a nice time looking around. Traveling by myself isn’t a big deal. I’ve done it multiple times all over the world.
Hey Diddler, Diddler….the cat and the fiddler LOL -

Yah, and it's most often not
THAT
dangerous if you've read the travel guide before.
E.g. Don't touch the heads of Egyptian children in small towns.

Yes you have to be a smart traveler as well. Do research and familiarize yourself with the area, check the weather so you dress appropriately and check for any travel warnings. It’s a little nerve wracking if you’re not used to going outside your comfort zone. But if you surrender to the experience, both good and bad, it’s an adventure! But I know it’s not for everyone. My brother hates traveling.

Agreed.
Hmmmm, I didn't travel often lately.
Traveling always means much preparation time.
So my buddies are still here when I come back.
Oh, one additional travel advice:
Listen to the locals!

Then you won't drown in the North Sea (tides!)
or freeze to death in the mountains.

The Sagrada Familia is the weirdest and ugliest building ever but inside, the light coming through the stained glass windows is absolutely beautiful. Apart from the views obviously I don't think you missed out on much by not going up one of the towers and in fact you can go to the roof of Barcelona Cathedral either for free or for a nominal cost. I did that the first time I went to Barcelona because the Sagrada Familia was was too busy.
