Diario de Noticias de Álava

I am also very proud to have been interviewed in the Diario de Noticias de Álava newspaper in June 2025. An article in which I talk about my experience of living in Munich and about my travels.

Appearing in a newspaper from my homeland is especially exciting for me. You can read the whole article here:

Places I want to go to

1. Walt Disney World Orlando

I consider myself a Disney geek. Many years ago I had the opportunity to visit Disneyland Paris but I can hardly remember anything about it, although I remember the feeling very well. I know I'll be back one day!

2. Lake Hillier

This is a pink lake in Australia. I have always wanted to visit the country and hopefully one day I will be able to drive around it in a van.

3. Norwegian Fjords

It must be amazing to go there, just look at the pictures on the internet and in some magazines. Riding on a boat, staying in a hotel with a view of the northern lights...
