Hello everyone! 👋 I'm Roberta, a passionate traveler with an insatiable love for adventure and discovery. At 33 years old, I’ve explored diverse regions around the world (both solo and in groups), experiencing unforgettable moments through my recent organized trips in Indonesia, Norway, Andalusia and Turkey via my "My Friend In" program. I speak four languages, but there's one universal language I hope we all share: the language of travel and openness to others 🥰 It will be a pleasure to accompany you every step of our journey in Gran Canaria, sharing my experience in backpacking, providing useful information about the destination, and creating extraordinary memories together. On weekends, I also wear the hat of an event photographer, so if you love capturing each moment and creating lasting memories, you’re in the right place! 🤭 Choosing to travel with me means not just exploring amazing places, but also living an authentic adventure full of surprises. Ready to embark on an incredible trip to Gran Canaria? I can’t wait to share this unique experience with you! 🌍✈️ And if you have any special requests or questions, feel free to reach out. 😉

We’ll stay in a carefully selected aparthotel or Airbnb in Gran Canaria, with shared rooms (or options to have private accommodations based on each preferences, for an extra cost). All accommodations are equipped to provide comfort and a cozy atmosphere, ensuring you can fully enjoy the local festivities and the island's beauty. Flexibility for Different Group Sizes: If our group doesn’t reach maximum capacity, I’ll adjust our accommodations accordingly, ensuring that every participant enjoys a comfortable and affordable stay without compromising quality or experience. Additional Details: The selected accommodations offer not only comfort but also allow us to immerse ourselves in the places we visit, from vibrant festivities to peaceful coastal retreats. They provide the perfect setting for group gatherings, sharing the day’s experiences, and planning future adventures. Any questions about the trip? You can let me know in the Q&A section!
