#I hadn’t posted about this but last night I found out that my cousin’s kid had gone missing while travelling with friends in Barcelona#they’d lost contact with him 24 hours earlier#and couldn’t find him anywhere#and my mum was with my cousin at the police station for a few hours while they launched an investigation#that basically went from the Victoria police > Australian federal police > interpol > Barcelona police#nobody had any idea where he was and it was genuinely terrifying#anyway I just woke up to a message from mum#saying that they found him and he was okay#his phone and wallet had been stolen#and the poor kid had been wandering around Barcelona for almost two full days trying to find the airbnb#what a massive relief#we were all so worried about him#I guess he was initially a little drunk and shaken up by having his stuff stolen#so didn’t think to wait in the last place he’s seen his friends#and by the time he sobered up he was dehydrated and exhausted and hungry so wasn’t thinking any clearer#especially seeing as it’s been pretty hot there#anyway let this be a psa reminder that if you’re visiting a country where you don’t speak the language#ALWAYS make sure you have a planned meeting point that you know how to find#in case you get into a situation like this#and at the very least learn how to ask for help in the language the locals speak#god he’s so lucky he didn’t end up passed out from heat stroke#or worse
