An Escape Enthusiast Abroad: Barcelona Day 5
The penultimate day! Sadly Lizette had to go back home due to work, and we did feel her absence (including the lack of screams, but see Errol’s blog for that).
If today was a day for anything, it was for history lessons and different styles. Strap in. This is a long post.

An Escape Enthusiast Abroad: Barcelona Day 4
Unlike Day 3, we were not quite as packed in for Day 4, with many of the escapes having enough time between for transit travel. My feet were happy for it!

An Escape Enthusiast Abroad: Barcelona Day 2
Phew…today…I feel battle hardened and grimy. Day 2 showed Barcelona is an intense physical challenge, both inside and outside of escape rooms.

An Escape Enthusiast Abroad: Barcelona Day 1
Oh man, is it that time again? Is it time for ANOTHER INTERNATIONAL ESCAPE ROOM TRIP?! HECK YES IT IS!
We have embarked to Barcelona, home of many Terpeca worthy games.
This year, both my friend, Errol, and I are writing blogs. He says it’s a competition. Because he has to make everything a competition. Should at least be fun to compare notes!

An Escape Enthusiast Abroad- RECON Los Angeles Day 5
Well, this is it. My final day. There is not nearly enough time to do all the things I want to do. Don’t get me wrong, I think I made the right call in giving myself a couple of buffer days before going back to work. But man, the escapes I have missed!
Enough about what I missed, though. Let’s talk about what I didn’t miss!

RECON is over. But my trip isn’t! It’s time to get as many escapes in as possible!
Hair Frizz Status: Code Red
It’s a good thing we didn’t have laser mazes yesterday because my hair alone would have set them off. Yeesh.
LA Stuff
I found the Hollywood sign! Look at me being all touristy and taking a photo from afar while the locals look on in disdain.

An Escape Enthusiast Abroad: RECON Los Angeles- Day 3
Day 3 of my trip and the second official day of RECON! I am so…so…tired. But also so pumped and blessed.
Let’s see…where to start:
Hair Status: Contained but dull
On the positive side, there is no frizz. On the not so positive side, it was also flat and lifeless. I cannot win the hair battles.
LA Stuff
There is none, since I was at RECON! Apart from the continued horrific prices.
The Talks
First up for the day was a talk from Tommy Honton of Stash House fame, who gave a talk about the freedom of failure. He shared a lot of philosophies I share but am not the greatest at following, and it was great for me personally to reaffirm those beliefs and get practical advice for how to act in the future.

An Escape Enthusiast Abroad: RECON Los Angeles- Day 2
Oh…my…goodness.
What a whirlwind.
I am writing this as I start my volunteer shift. It mostly involves guarding a door, so it is the perfect opportunity to sneak in some blogging.
RECON has properly begun and the first day so far has been an absolute delight.

An Escape Enthusiast Abroad: RECON Los Angeles- Day 1
I am back! Travelling again! And I am travelling back to RECOOONNN! Or rather, the Reality Escape Convention! This year it is in Los Angeles, one of the hubs of top tier escape rooms!
I am super excited to experience all that LA has to offer and, of course, shall chronicle my journey as best we can between jet lagged sleeps.
