About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Travelling is not about ticking boxes, it's about being adventurous and acquiring local knowledge

ABOUT ME
I feel my nationalities speak for themselves, I am reliable (Swedish side) and passionate (my Spanish) in everything I do. I was born and raised in Tenerife (Canary Islands-Spain), moved to Stockholm aged 16 and started university just outside London at 18. I worked in a smoothie company (now owned by Coca-Cola) and later in HSBC headquarter bank for 2 years. After 6 years in the UK I decided to go off travelling around the world for a year and 5 months. When I got back to London I worked as a travel designer (designing high-end holidays to South America) but after two years I decided to join the ARC regatta from Las Palmas to St Lucia. I travelled and worked on several sailboats in the Caribbean and lived in Mallorca for 6 years on and off. I settled back in London and worked designing bespoke trips to Europe! I now live in Tenerife and run my own company from here.

PHILOSOPHY
Honesty, good-heartedness and passion will take you far in life

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hard question, but I guess to have embarked on a 1.5 year voyage all by myself, I'm 100% happy I did it this way, it has allowed me to meet some really interesting people along the way and I have made friends for life.
