How did you get started as an influencer?
I decided to open an Instagram account during the pandemic as a way to share the places I discovered. At first, it was about exploring the Canary Islands. Then once I knew my home islands inside out, I set my sights on exploring the world.
What do you enjoy most about being an influencer?
I’m not aware of being an influencer as such. In fact, I deliberately don’t publish locations to avoid overcrowding and vandalism. For me, it’s just about my passion for photography and exploring hidden places in the Canary Islands.
Do you have many followers?
Currently about 6,800 on Instagram.
What’s your relationship with Lanzarote?
I love this island. It’s so full of energy and I feel connected to my roots, as my father and grandparents were from Lanzarote. It’s an enchanting island with a unique identity and landscapes.
What’s next on the horizon for you?
Dreams are meant to be fulfilled, so I’m planning to expand my passion beyond the Canary Islands. To discover the wonders of the world firsthand whilst always keeping the Canary Islands close to my heart, of course!
