Hi! I’ve been living in Ireland since 2013, and over time I’ve fallen in love with this country just as much as my home country, Venezuela. I really enjoy sharing what I’ve discovered along the way—not just the history and culture, but also some great local pubs and places to eat around Cork City. I now live in Cobh, which I’m proud to call home. While it’s known for its beautiful views and colourful streets, there’s so much more to it. Cobh has a rich and fascinating history, especially its connections to the Titanic and the Lusitania, which make it a very special place to explore. In my free time, I love painting, writing, travelling, and making music. I also enjoy translating books and documents about Irish history—it’s a lovely way to keep learning and stay connected to the culture. I’ve been working in tourism since I moved to Ireland, guiding both small and large groups. In 2021, I became an accredited tour guide here. I speak English, Spanish, and French fluently, and I’ve had the opportunity to guide people from all over the world, as well as locals. I truly enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds and sharing perspectives—it’s always such a rewarding experience. One of my favourite things about guiding is that I’m always learning something new too.
