A young Australian woman has cheated death for the third time this year after terrorist attacks took place in three different cities that she was travelling through.
Julia Monaco, 26, from Melbourne , was in a shopping mall with a friend when a van plowed into pedestrians in the Las Ramblas district of Barcelona on Thursday.
It was her third brush with terrorism since she began travelling around Europe three months ago but she told 3AW's Neil Mitchell that she won't let it stop her from seeing the world.
In June, she was put in a lockdown on the London Underground while out with friends when terrorists plowed into people on London Bridge before going on a knife rampage in nearby Borough Market.
Days later, she was in Notre Dame in Paris
when a police officer was stabbed outside the famous cathedral.
'I don't feel like I want to go home,' she told Neil Mitchell on Friday morning.
'I feel like I want to stay here and not let them – whoever they may be – win.
'I'm going to see what I came here to see.'
Ms Monaco and her friends Alana Reader and Julia Rocca, also from Melbourne, were in the store on Placa de Catalyuna when they saw people outside running for their lives.

It's just a matter of avoiding anywhere she is visiting.
