À propos de l'auteur
Pablo Balibrea Albaladejo (1979) holds a degree in Psychology from the University of Murcia. His professional journey began at ASSIDO, an association for people with Down syndrome, where values such as effort, dedication, and above all, heart, are present every day.
Pablo possesses a creativity deeply rooted in his origins and, from a young age, felt the need to transmit, create, and contribute to the world what he had always wished to find.
A pioneer at the time, he launched a podcast titled “Confessions of a Player”, which achieved great success and taught him all that one can give and receive in this world.
Overnight, a great adventure linked to music was born, with vinyl records as the main protagonists, which you can follow on his Instagram profile Ravenflow.
His way of disconnecting is through travel, where he enjoys immersing both mind and heart in every place he visits from the very first moment. Once a destination is in his mind, his focus and creativity take over, adding that touch of passion every traveler experiences at the start of a great adventure.
This touch of passion is clearly reflected in the pages of the Iceland trilogy, which includes “Between Volcanoes and Waterfalls”, “The Iceland Suitcase”, and “Towards the Impossible”. It continued in “New York: The Big Apple Bite by Bite”, “Copenhagen: The City of Canals”, and “Seoul: Discovering the Capital of South Korea”. These guides, all freely available, aim to provide ideas to fellow travelers to help turn their dream journeys into reality.
