Hello everyone! 👋 I'm Roberta, a passionate traveler with an insatiable love for adventure and discovery. At 34 years old, I have explored various regions of the world (both solo and in groups), experiencing unforgettable moments through my organized trips in Indonesia, Norway, Spain, Turkey, etc... through my program "My Friend In". I speak four languages, but there is one universal language that I hope we will all share: that of travel and openness towards others 🥰 It will be a pleasure to accompany you at every stage of our trip to Gran Canaria, sharing my experience in the island, providing useful information about the destination, and creating extraordinary memories together.

We’ll stay in carefully selected accommodations, either an aparthotel or Airbnb in Las Palmas, with shared or private options available depending on preferences and at an extra cost. All accommodations are designed to provide comfort and a cozy atmosphere, ensuring you can fully enjoy the local parties 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 not only offer 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!
