Jose Rizal traveled extensively throughout Europe and Asia in the 1880s. Some of the key stops on his journey included Singapore, Sri Lanka, Aden Yemen, Italy, France, and Spain. In Spain, he studied at the University of Madrid and wrote some of his earliest nationalist essays under pseudonyms advocating for reforms in the Philippines. He also fell in love with Consuelo Ortiga y Perez but their romance was cut short. In Paris, Rizal admired many landmarks and spent time studying at hospitals and libraries. His travels exposed him to new ideas that strengthened his nationalist views.
