About Mencey

Born on the Canary Islands, my life has always been related to tourism. Travel makes me feel alive and I am grateful every time I jump on a plane. My favourite things about travelling are experiencing new emotions, encountering new cultures and growing from them. I very much enjoy gastro-tourism and let myself indulge whilst discovering new places by its flavours. My most memorable travel moments include exploring the stunning St. Basil’s Cathedral in Moscow and the challenge of driving a scooter in Bali. I love meeting locals and understanding how life varies in this amazing world.

This changes every day but right now Colombia is grabbing my attention as it has lots of contrasts and Colombians are also so joyful.
