I love traveling, nature, and learning from other cultures. I have been working in the Tourism industry for the last seventeen years. I have a bachelor's degree in languages from the University of Barcelona (UB). Twelve years ago I passed the exams to become an Official Tour Guide. I am a proud TOURSBYLOCALS tour guide for 7 years already! I have lived in five different countries and after spending some time in Australia, I established myself again in Barcelona 17 years ago. Currently, I live in Barcelona with my partner and my son. My city is a place to fall in love with. There are many spots in Barcelona not shown in guide books that will surprise you. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about my tours. I will be pleased to assist you! I am very flexible so I can customize your tour according to your personal preferences.
