Live tenerife 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.
