Greetings from Spain! I was a keynote speaker at the TBEX conference, the largest travel blogger conference in the world last weekend. The conference was held in Lloret de Mar, a coastal destination less than two hours north of Barcelona. Here are some of my Instagram photos from the coastal Spain - and from few of the fun activities we did on the trip. It's not a real travel blogger experience without some amazing travel experiences, right? The big news at the conference was the anouncement of TBEX Europe next summer held in SWEDEN! I hope you will join me next summer in Stockholm, as I for sure will not miss it!

Instagram photo by Skimbaco I fell in love with Sitges, coastal town next to Barcelona. We did a speedboat tour of the city and it's gorgeous beaches, but my favorite still was this... The sea.
Instagram photo by Skimbaco Terrassa is another town worth the visit. The Science and Technology Museum in Terrassa is in the old Aymerich Modernist textile factory of Amat i Jover. The museum itself is an interesting spot to learn about the history of science and technology and about the industrialization in Catalonia. However, one of the best sights can be found on the rooftop. The museum has an unique roof and it is a worth to see even just for the multiple windows on the roof.
