Hello everyone! 👋 I’m Roberta, an Italian travel lover who has been living in Gran Canaria for several years. I’m passionate about exploring new destinations, discovering different cultures and bringing people together through travel. Through my platform, My Friend In, I have organized and accompanied small-group adventures to destinations including Indonesia, Norway, Puerto Rico, Turkey, Peru, Cabo Verde and many more. I speak Italian, Spanish and English, helping everyone feel included in our multicultural groups. As a local host, I’ll accompany you throughout the trip, share my knowledge of Gran Canaria and show you both its famous landscapes and some of the authentic places that make the island so special. My goal is for you to arrive alone but leave with beautiful memories and new international friends. 🥰
