I've lived in South Korea, Colombia and Ghana, and have been fortunate to travel in 48 different countries, but the place I really want to see is "La Sagrada Familia" in Barcelona, Spain. But at the age of 87 and problems with my balance, due to a head injury, I am hesitant to travel alone any more. If anyone has suggestions on how I can make this dream trip easily and economically, I would appreciate hearing from you.

Take a younger friend, perhaps a  grandchild? Travel light but include aTransfer chair". Travel midweek, business class if possible. Business class gives access to lounges with food, wifi, comfortable seating & more). You'll probably have a connection. Make it a "comfortable time" one. I requested a 4h11m one for a trip this month, rather than accept a 1hr40m run from 1 building to another. 

Stay outside of Barcelona proper, perhaps nearer the airport? Have your accommodation arrange airport pick up and use a guide to maximize sights and minimize walking. This was my first year to take a cane, and It came in handy :-)! 

Buen viaje,

Anywhere but where elimination of immigration, international participation, public (non-governmental controlled) broadcasting, public assistance and low-income assistance was the most important agenda...

 

Then I'd help others escape.

I believe in most countries you have to live there awhile to be eligible for some types of public assistance.  In fact, in some countries, you have to bring some type and amount of income with you to even be welcomed.  

 

In Greece, they use to turn away boat loads of Syrian refugees.  Australia also has very strict immigration laws - they too turn away those coming in with unlawful entry.

 

Even in our refugee system, it takes a while to be eligible for many types of assistance - and this is for refugees who are approved entry even years before arriving in the country - on their nickel too.  

 

So just know the laws ad the rules of whereever you might be contemplating the move.
