Group travel
Great island to learn how to surf! We went in a group with different surfing skills and everyone could find an appropriate beach to keep learning. Renting a car is definitely a must to be able to sightsee freely as sights are scattered across the island. It is not one of the green Canary islands, very little vegetation on it but you can meet a lot if wild animals - squirrels and goats mostly.

Family travel
I lived in my boyfriends family’s house close to the ocean. It’s the nicest beach I’ve ever seen and swam in. There’s a lot of turist here, but that’s okay. I’ve been windsurfing a lot, and I can recommend to do some wind/water sports here! There’s a lot of good places, good teachers and a lot of wind. Haven’t felt unsafe a single time here

Couple travel
We went for the first time and we loved it. you‘ll definitely need a car bc there are so many beautiful places to see. I was on a boat tour with FlounderSailing, we watched Dolphins and went snorkeling after that. The Beaches were amazing and every one of them was so different!

Solo travel
Last weekend, I finally made it to Fuerteventura—and wow, it was worth the wait! After living in Gran Canaria for over a year, it was about time. The island is stunning. I travelled solo and rented a car for a 3-day road trip, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience. The beaches are unlike anything I’ve seen before. If you ever get the chance to visit Cofete, don’t think twice—just go. Corralejo is lovely too, but the raw, untamed beauty of Playa de Cofete is absolutely jaw-dropping.

About me
just another basic travel girlie that is kinda scared of men lol I love to travel alone, I love doing WorkAway and have been volunteering in two animal sanctuaries so far. Love the Spanish language and trying really hard to learn but failing miserably. Kinda funny in German. Love trying new things that I am really scared of (climbing, surfing, skating…). Got bitten twice by a dog in my last volunteer work and still believe they are the best thing in the world. Love dancing (especially R&B, dancehall, Afro) but usually only go clubbing to techno music because I prefer the respectful and conscious culture around it. I like being artsy and can be good at it if I take my time, but usually don’t take the time. Started playing the ukulele a year ago and slowly getting better at it. Like to sing even though I only do it when I feel very comfortable. Diving is the best thing in the world. I have a bachelor in cognitive science and I am still not sure what it actually is. Psychology & philosophy. Feminist, political and vegan. But no I will not tell u about it every two seconds, but I’ll give you my opinion if you ask. Kind & soft but not accepting bullshit :)) wow that actually did not take me that long
