About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ENJOY THE LIFE!!!

ABOUT ME
Back in Spain, I'm full time student and an official tourist guide.
Right now I have my own flat to paint and decorate, but in a while I can welcome travelers.
I live in ALCOY, inland Alicante province, surrounded by mountains and not so far from the coast (less than one hour drive).
Before this, I'd enjoyed my life traveling and living around the world. It was the best time in my life! I grow up, I learnt, I cried, I felt and I got up again, I laughed a lot, I felt in love with..., I met beautiful people, I arrived to amazing places...
After I settled in Dublin, Ireland for 5 years before to come back permanently in Spain.

But thinking about next destinations soon! ;)

PHILOSOPHY
Enjoy the life because maybe we have just one. My battle cry are WHY NOT!! and YOU'RE MISSING IT!!
