The breaking point: how to get out of your comfort zone

She is originally from Barcelona, ​​but when she was finishing her university studies she realized that she did not want the same thing for her life as her classmates. “One day, I saw an ad on Instagram with an incredible landscape and a kangaroo: it was a photo from Australia. I was amazed by its beauty and I said… I have to see this place some day. I didn’t know how to do it so I started looking for information and I found a program to study English and work in Australia with a student visa. And I went for it.”

Living in Australia was her first experience away from home and allowed her to keep her mind open, learn a new language, make her first small company named “Sport Experience Australia” and do important networking in the hotel & travel business. This is when she met her future business partner, David Draffin, with whom a few years later she created “Btique Nomad”.
