WHY?

She has spent a significant portion of her life living in the United States with two little kids and her husband. During that time, and with only a little knowledge of English, she moved around extensively, and had her share of pitfalls, and little dramas. Throughout these experiences, her primary goal was always to find a place her family could truly call home, and shine.  And now, back in Barcelona, as Catalans say: "Roda el mon i torna al born" (no matter how far one may travel or explore, eventually they will come back to their roots or their place of origin. El Born is a neighborhood of Barcelona) she is ready to help you to get the best experience.
