About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Traveling is my way of life

ABOUT ME

I'm a 33 years old girl from Spain. My passions are traveling and reading about History. For this reason, when I finished my studies in cinema and tv (at the age of 24) I took my packback and traveled all around the world for a year... and that's what I've been doing since. Now I'm travel writer, always traveling from one place to the next one, and I also run my own travel company :)

Something about me as a guest: I love food, but I'm VEGAN. This means I don't eat any kind of meat, fish or eggs AT ALL. If I can avoid it I prefer not consume dairy products, although I can do some exceptions when I'm traveling (I realize that it's difficult to remove butter or milk of some recipes. No problem!). Cereals (rice, pasta...) vegetables, legumes (beans, lentils, chickpeas...), fruits... are most welcome at my table :D

PHILOSOPHY

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." Mark Twain

Interests

Traveling, writing, reading. I love cinema and good music. Rock all night long. Talking about religion/philosophy/meaning of life/love/sex and the whole set of taboo topics with a nice bottle of white wine.
