The eternal question ... where to next?
I live for my passion: travelling. I aim to travel to every country in the world and inspire you to do the same! Nature, learning about new cultures, speaking several languages & blending in with locals, are my key drivers! During my trips, I seek adventures. I always put myself out of my comfort zone and have never regretted it! I am also an advocate of preserving and protecting our planet.
We are a project from travellers to travellers and we can't wait to take you on the best adventure ever!
I am from a wee town in Badajoz, Portugal borders. However, I consider myself a world citizen!
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"Spain and Portugal"
How did you get involved in travel?
"In 2014 I decided to grab my suitcase and moved to Scotland seeking for new challenges. I have been based up there for 8 years working on Tourism and at the same time traveling the world whenever I had the opportunity.
I combine my knowledge and background in Tourism with my personal vision of the world, to share with you my travel experiences in the most genuine and honest way possible."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"mmm .... tough question!
Spain is the land of contrast and my very own place in the world, but If I had to name a feeling that would be called Granada. The scent of incense, Arabian flavours from ancient cultures and Alhambra became the most spectacular scenario to enjoy over and over again."

Hi Javaid, thank you so much for your kind words and detailed feedback! I am sad to read your comments regarding the hotels in Cordoba and Granada as well as the inconvenience on the Alhambra guided visit. I will get in touch with our partners and let them know about this matter. Every detail helps us to improve the quality of our services.
