My parents don’t like traveling overseas, in fact, they have only been abroad once. My mother is very afraid of traveling by plane. On the contrary, I love traveling / to travel, I always save money so that I can afford to travel and I’d love to travel around the world before I die. I started by making trips around the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal). I used to live in Madrid so my boyfriend and I decided to go to a different city each weekend. We have been in Segovia, Toledo, Ávila, Galicia, Cantabria, Asturias, Girona, Denia, Extremadura, Jaén and we even went to Oporto once, which is about 6 hours driving distance, and we spent a whole week enjoying this magnificent city. In 2020, as everybody knows, the covid pandemic forced us to stay at home. In Madrid the situation was pretty tough with hundreds of people dying every day. Hospitals did not have enough ventilators for the entire population, I was out of work, and I felt that Madrid was no longer my hometown. When the lockdown ended / were lifted, we moved out of Madrid to the Canary Islands, where I was born. I’m very happy to live there now, but living on an island has its drawbacks: we cannot improvise trips every weekend because we would have to take the plane to do it. Instead, we plan longer travels to other countries once or twice a year. The rest of the year we stay in Lanzarote enjoying the good weather and some good company. If there is one thing that I am sure of, it is that I am a very lucky person.
