Living in the Caribbean is out of this world, with the food and its stunning views, every day feels like a gift. I have never seen prettier beaches, and they also have the best over-the-water restaurants I have ever been to! Las Sirenas and Whole in the Wall. It was the island that put my mind at peace due to my sister Wendy.

Leaving our country was difficult, and I wondered if the love we feel for our culture would stay with my kids, but I was determined to help them remember. Almost 10 years later, they still love and long for Guatemala, and I am so grateful. We will always be proud Guatemalans.

Valencia has been recognized with one of the highest awards a European city could strive for! All due to its assertive efforts on sustainability and working towards healthier lives for its inhabitants. If you are a person who supports our incredible planet and its unique diversity, this is the city for you! One more reason to love amazing Valencia, and get that sunny dream going!
