Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain

I spent time in Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife, working with a local hostel while exploring the island’s volcanic landscapes on foot. Between hostel shifts and long hikes through the surrounding hills and coastal paths, my days were shaped by physical work, changing weather, and the raw contrast between ocean and mountain that defines the north of the island.

Mount Teide

Hiking Mount Teide in Tenerife felt otherworldly, with volcanic landscapes, sweeping views above the clouds, and a quiet sense of awe that made every step from the summit unforgettable.
