Curiosity has taken me across borders, and life has gifted me the chance to live and be a tour guide in five different countries around Europe. Along the way, I’ve fallen in love with history, food, culture, and the arts — and above all, with the stories behind every place and person. I’m passionate about connecting with people from all walks of life and discovering something new every day. I can’t wait to share meaningful, off-the-beaten-path experiences with fellow travelers who are just as curious as I am.

Our Meeting point!

Outside visit

Passeig del Born

We’ll walk along Passeig del Born, once the heart of medieval jousts and public gatherings, now a vibrant avenue lined with bars, galleries, and artisan shops. It’s a place where old-world grandeur meets creative energy. Just steps away from the Picasso Museum, this promenade captures the essence of El Born — a neighbourhood that has long inspired artists, rebels, and storytellers alike.

Outside visit

Real Academia Catalana de Bellas Artes de San Jorge

We’ll visit the Real Academia Catalana de Bellas Artes de San Jorge, one of the most prestigious art institutions in Barcelona. Housed in a grand neoclassical building, it was here that a young Picasso studied and refined his technique — guided by tradition, but already pushing boundaries. This academy shaped generations of Catalan artists and remains a cornerstone of the city’s artistic heritage.
