The mission: Your story in Barcelona
You are Lazarius Caspian, a hopeless (and somewhat desperate) romantic with a passion for exploring cities and uncovering hidden truths, all the while not forgetting the true mission at hand: finding your soulmate. But up until now, luck hasn’t quite been on your side.
Your mother whom you still live with has given you an ultimatum: bring home a nice girl or move out. Have you seen housing prices lately?! It’s time to break this curse of loneliness and go find the woman of your dreams in the magical city of Barcelona.
