🌍I’m a Madrid-based travel enthusiast. After living in Madrid, Virginia, Vienna and Buenos Aires I am ready to share with you everything I’ve learned.
⏳My guides focus mostly on short 24-48 hours trips and how to get the most out of your quick getaways in every city.
❤️ I’m a good fit for people who are solo traveling or with their soulmate, who like to explore the most in a short period of time and who like visiting all the picture perfect places and trying good restaurants without paying excesive money.
❌ I’m not a good fit for people that like relaxing vacations or who are traveling with their family :(
