Porque es mejor decir un “te acuerdas…?” a un “te imaginas…?”, me dedico a viajar y a sumar experiencias.
2018 ha sido un año intenso de viajes y escapadas. Un año donde, por suerte, he recorrido islas recónditas en cuyos mares habitan las orcas en verano, he paseado por pueblos de adobe en mitad del desierto, he aprendido a pescar en lagos helados, he tenido que cubrirme el pelo para visitar un país, he sabido cómo huele una ciudad dedicada al petróleo, y he visitado construcciones con mucha magia e historia detrás (¡entre otros!). Como siempre ocurre, el lugar es mil veces más bonito y mejor recordado cuando la experiencia es agradable y la compartes. Y estas han sido las experiencias, los momentos y los lugares que me han dejado una sonrisa al recordarlos este año. Se encuentran por orden de tamaño de sonrisa y reconozco que me ha costado elegir solo 10.

Because is better to say “Do you remember…?” rather than “Can you imagine…?”, I like to travel and collect moments.
2018 has been a year full of trips and adventures. A year where, fortunately, I have been in islands where you can see orcas in summertime, I have walked in a village in the middle of the desert, I have seen ice fishing, I had to cover my hair to visit a country, I have smelled a city dedicated to oil, and I have visited magical constructions with a lot of history. Obviously, the impact of the experience and how you will remember it depends on who you are with and how you felt then.
These places have been the ones that now, at the end of the year, make me smile again and again.They are in my smile size order and I have to admit that was difficult to choose just 10.
Pics of my top 10 of 2018 (where you should go), just below.
