Two years ago, I bought a one-way ticket to Gran Canaria.
I didn’t have any friends there. I didn’t know where I would live. I didn’t know anything about Gran Canaria. In fact, up until a few months prior, I hadn’t had any interest in visiting the Canary Islands at all.
And yet here I was, about to move to one of them.
Is there a way to start a year recap without sounding cheesy or overly optimistic (or these days, apocalyptic)? I don’t think so. So I’m going to dive right in.
Do you want to swim in water that’s as clear as as swimming pool?
Or how about a beach covered in crushed seashells?
Do you want to go snorkeling and see coral reefs?
Or, do you want to trek off the beaten path and walk on fossilized lava (at least, that’s what it looks like)?
Gran Canaria has more variety than I had even imagined, when it comes to the beach.
Do you ever have moments where you look around you, and wonder, how in the world did I end up here?!
That’s how I’ve felt ever since I arrived in Gran Canaria.
