ABOUT US:
Our trip started in 2010 when we decided to quit our jobs, home and daily life in Barcelona to travel around the world for two years. We traveled to dozens of different countries, discovering different cultures and sharing experiences with lots of people, both locals and travelers. We were eager to see the world, to get out of our comfort zone and seek new adventures. On our way back we decided to stop in the Canary islands where we opened a guesthouse and retreat center to keep travelling through people this time, constantly exchanging experiences. Now we decided to come back to Barcelona to start this new project focused in what we like most.
