After 1 year in this job she moved to a small town in Costa Rica; it was here she was told about a magical place called Byron Bay! She enjoys yoga, nature and animals, so knew Byron Bay would the perfect place for her English studies!
Estefany was born in Columbia but moved to the Canary Islands when she was very young. When she was 19 she then moved to Stockholm, Sweden to study a Bachelor Degree in Politics and Human Rights. Her biggest passions in life are travelling, reading and writing.

It was my first time making sushi but luckily I had lots of helpful students on hand to show me how it’s done 🙂

At last weeks Coffee Club myself, Andrea, Pol, Nil and Svenja played quite possibly the longest game of Uno in history!
We all had different ideas of how Uno should be played, which created a small bit of conflict but we got through it 🙂
