I’m Felicity. Before the pandemic hit, I was a tour manager for rock/metal/jazz bands, touring the world and heading to a different country almost every day.

Now, I’m living in La Gomera, an island in the middle of nowhere with a population of fewer people than my parents’ village.

I’ve bought a house that needs ‘just a bit’ of work doing to it because what else do you do in a pandemic, right? I bought the place and realised I had no DIY knowledge, skills, I didn’t know how to put up a shelf and my Spanish (which is essential on Gomera) was even more non-existent than I’d thought.

Still, I wanted somewhere to truly make a home, and this is all about my adventures as I’m trying to make friends/somewhere to live/stop rocking myself to sleep in a ball each night over the ludicrous nature of the decision.

I’m glad to have you with me on the journey!
