About Me

ABOUT ME

In 2010 when I was travelling around Thailand a friend of mine sent me a message that would change my life. A famous brand of beer was looking for a journalist to write on its corporate travel blog. Travel and blog, these two words together sounded amazing!

I made a video to present my candidacy, to convince the company that I was the best fit for it, because they were looking for someone carefree who loved writing and especially traveling. I was bloody sure: that was me!

Two months later I started my world trip and my new job: professional blogger. It was the best experience of my whole life so far and besides discovering amazing places and living incredible experiences, I was able to realize that what I had always really wanted was to write about travel.

With my backpack full of good memories and after visiting 25 countries I came back to Barcelona and I created my own blog: www.sineñe.com

Having a new travel blog without traveling doesn’t make any sense, that’s why I’ve started working hard and saving some money to travel again, and here I am writing these lines from New Zealand without any knowledge of my next destination.
