I was always fascinated with the tourism industry, that's why I decided to study for many years and to gain 3 academic certificates (Diploma, Bsc and Msc in tourism management). After my academic excellence, I worked in the tourism field and I co-created a travel agency. Now I am teaching tourism management as a Lecturer at a college in Barcelona.
