  Description

  During my sabbatical, I sought the freedom to explore new experiences and savor life in a different way. In 2018, I relocated to Spain, learned Spanish, and recently purchased a house in the northern part of La Gomera that I plan to renovate.
  
  The village where my location is is a fantastic place where one can let go of superficialities, embrace a love for nature, and appreciate rugged beauty. Genuine, warm-hearted communication and respect will be the essence of your surroundings by all the local people.
