Hooola! This is Laura a fully licensed guide of Catalonia, born and bread here ;) When I was studying tourism I wasn't 100% sure of what or where it was going to take me; but with a love for history, art , languages and being a people person, becoming a tour guide was the most natural path for me to follow. Since qualifying in 2012, guiding has been not just my full time job, but my passion. I feel so grateful to be able to meet different people everyday and show all the secrets and history the fascinating city of Girona and its region has to offer. I am a foodie! When it comes to food I am in 'Heaven'. I love to travel, to explore and taste new places. When I am picking my next adventure, the culture and its food is always at the top of my list. So if too are a big culinary fan like me, then let me also show the delights of Catalan gastronomy. I qualified with a Cultural Master's Degree at the University of Girona were I have also taught lessons on Tour Guiding to my peers. Catalonia is a big sporting region and I am lucky enough to be able to open water swim, ride on the Costa Brava and hike in the hills of Montserrat. So come follow me on your next adventure and I will make sure it is an experience that you will never forget. Are you with me? - Licensed Tour guide number 2829 since 2012 - Tourism Degree at University of Girona - Cultural Master's Degree at University of Girona - Professor on the subject "Tour Guiding" at the University of Girona - Teacher at Barcelona Guide Bureau on Guide training for future licensed guides - Member of AGUICAT "Licensed Guides of Catalonia Association" - Member of AGG "Girona Guide's Association" I have no restrictions
