Live the Canary Islands like a local
Being a tourist is not the same as traveling. I help you go beyond the superficial
MASS TOURISM IS STANDARDISING DESTINATIONS
Making trips all the same: going to a place to follow the other tourists, simply collecting photos of iconic sites. In the crowds, cultural authenticity is diluted and the opportunity to connect with the local way of life is lost.

Hello! I am Raquel
A biologist from Tenerife in love with my land. Through digital travel manuals I make the Canary Islands known in greater depth. My goal is to promote authentic travel, giving value to our heritage and promote a responsible tourism.

IT IS A PITY THAT OFTEN ONLY THE CLIMATE OF THE CANARY ISLANDS IS MENTIONED.
THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE MISSING!

I help travelers live the best experience
And to understand the REAL islands
Knowing our essence, traditions, culture and nature, but also our lifestyle and problematic issues. I firmly believe that a trip is much more enjoyable when you get to appreciate the value of what you are visiting.

I LIVED TWO MONTHS ON EACH ISLAND TO SOAK MYSELF
what they offer first hand
I explored all the Canary Islands in depth, from its trails, hidden corners, activities, museums, gastronomy, traditions...

THOSE WHO'VE TRIED IT SAY:
Monz Fiorentini8 Febrero 2025 Had an amazing partnership with Raquel to build my Canary Islands winter getaway - part holidays/part workation. She was super helpful in choosing the order in which I traveled to the various islands, attentive to my carless adventure, remote work needs, activity preferences, and confirming my accommodation locations were feasible for my travel requirements. She provided informative and useful tips in the guides including links to the bus stops/schedules and maps. I relied on the itineraries quite a bit throughout my journey including her restaurant recommendations! Raquel and her tailored island tips made my journey much easier, saved me time, and provided a well-rounded adventure for me! Can't wait to partner with her again! Hector Hernando16 Enero 2025 Con una guía tan buena se disfruta de la isla muchísimo más. Lau9 Diciembre 2024 Lo mejor que he hecho para conocer las Islas Canarias. Cuando me decidí venir a recorrer el archipiélago en furgoneta junto a mi perrito, yo ya tenía un poco mi ruta organizada. Pero no solo quería ver, quería conocer Canarias, es ahí donde Raquel me ha ayudado con todo! Me ha realizó un plan súper personalizado y adaptado a mi tipo de viaje. Hemos indagado en cultura local y tradiciones, en pueblitos... lo que nos ha llevado a entablar pequeñas amistades con los lugareños, probamos auténtica gastronomía canaria,... También realizamos diferentes actividades como buceo, senderismo, museos, yacimientos arqueológicos, cuevas, charcos... Todo con sus recomendaciones! Es de considerar su atención personal durante el viaje, cualquier cosa que nos surge ahí tenemos a Yourlocalplanner para ayudarnos 😍 La guía personalizada sobre la isla me encantó, totalmente personalizada y práctica, se nota que está hecha con cariño. Raquel es un encanto de chica, apasionada de su trabajo y siempre predispuesta ayudarte durante el viaje. Desde el primer contacto a través de videollamada dónde ella se interesó sobre que tipo de viaje íbamos a hacer para asesorarnos lo mejor posible ☺️ Si vais a viajar a las islas y queréis conocerlas BIEN! No dudéis en contactar con ella, es la mejor manera de hacerlo de una manera personalizada, local y sostenible. 🐶💛 🚐 Eladio Garcia23 Noviembre 2024 Buen conocimiento de la isla ,muy buena en ayuda de gestión, y siempre dispuesta a atendernos,incluso fuera de lo normal, Álvaro Llorens23 Septiembre 2024 Quería irme de voluntariado a Canarias pero no tenía ni idea de por donde empezar a buscar ni a qué isla ir. Con una asesoría de una hora Raquel me ayudó muchísimo a tenerlo claro, a empezar con el plan y sobre todo a darme el ultimo empujón que necesitaba. Incluso me puso en contacto con gente que fueron clave para que esta experiencia haya sido increible! Gracias por todo Dacil Afonso13 Agosto 2024 Le pedí a Raquel que realizara una guía para mi pareja que le gusta mucho la historia de Canarias. La guía era para 5 días y en Gran Canaria. He vuelto a redescubrir Gran Canaria gracias a Raquel. Lugares escondidos, sorprendentes, bonitos, acogedores,... la guía lo tiene todo. Sin duda la recomendaría para visitar de la mejor manera las Islas Canarias. Gracias Raquel. Ángel Pizarro4 Agosto 2024 3º año consecutivo que viajamos a una isla canaria con la guía personalizada que nos hizo Raquel de your local planner, esta vez a la palma. Increíble el trabajazo que hizo. Nos la leímos entera antes de ir y aprendimos muchísimos sobre la isla, su historia, naturaleza y todo lo que lo rodea. Durante los días viajando, era como si viajase con nosotros, siempre deciamos "que dice raquel de este pueblo". Te cambia totalmente el viaje, 100% recomendable. B.
