Hello everyone! 👋 I'm Roberta, a passionate traveler with an insatiable love for adventure and discovery. At 33, I've explored various regions of the world (both solo and in groups), living unforgettable experiences like my two recent organized trips, in Indonesia and Norway, through my program "My Friend In". I speak four languages, but there's one universal language I hope we'll all speak: the language of travel and openness to others 🥰 It will be a pleasure to accompany you at every stage of our journey in Andalusia, sharing my expertise in backpack preparation, providing useful information about the destination, and creating extraordinary memories together. On weekends, I also don the hat of an event photographer, so if you love capturing every moment and creating indelible memories, you're in the right place! 🤭 Choosing to travel with me means not only exploring incredible places but also living an authentic adventure full of surprises. Ready to embark on the incredible journey to Spain? I can't wait to share this unique experience with you! 🌍✈️ And if you have any special wishes or questions, feel free to write me. 😉

This apartment features 4 bedrooms (3 with double beds and 1 with 2 bunk beds), providing comfortable sleeping arrangements for all. The shared living spaces include a fully equipped kitchen—perfect for preparing group meals and saving on dining out. A balcony offers a view of the bustling city, and the private toilet ensures our convenience and privacy. This setup is ideal for getting to know each other and sharing experiences. Málaga: Our stay in Málaga will be in a stunning penthouse in the city center. This accommodation boasts 3 bedrooms (2 with double beds and 1 with 2 bunk beds), accommodating our group comfortably. The three bathrooms will provide ample privacy and convenience for all. The penthouse’s modern amenities ensure a luxurious and relaxing base from which to explore the city's rich culture and vibrant nightlife. Adaptability for Different Group Sizes: Should our group not reach the maximum capacity, I will adjust our accommodations accordingly, ensuring everyone has comfortable and cost-effective options without compromising on quality or location. Additional Details: Our chosen accommodations in both cities allow us the flexibility to enjoy local cuisine at home or venture out to nearby restaurants. They also provide a perfect gathering place for our group to plan daily activities and relax after a day of exploration. Any Questions? Feel free to reach out in our Q&A section if you have any questions about the accommodations or any other aspects of the trip.
