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
