I will show you:
I will make art, history, gastronomy and culture come alive, while I will show hidden and secret places that only well-informed locals know, always looking for the unusual.

I have been working as a tourist guide in Barcelona and Catalonia since 2016 and I love getting to know new cultures and visiting new places in the world, so traveling is without a doubt my greatest passion.
