What to expect
I’m a normal woman. Like you. I’m not extraordinary (although my grandma begs to disagree).
I love travelling. I made it my number 1 priority some years back. I have a job in the travel industry and travel when I can.
I go on weekend adventures to discover unique accommodations and local small towns. I save up leave days and plan long trips to more international destinations.
As you can see, I work a
normal job life. I get paid. And I save it for my travels. If I can do
it, you can do it too!
In this website, you’ll find detailed budget-friendly itineraries and loads of planning tips so when you go somewhere it is easier to plan.

Hi, I’m Anna from I’M 8 HOURS AHEAD!
Ser un cul inquiet (itchy feet):
Being a person that can’t stand still.
Hello! It is so nice to see you here!
Everyone calls me different nicknames, but my name is Anna.
I was born and raised in Barcelona and through summer travels with my family discovered new places from an early age. I’ve never been able to stop still for a long time and three years ago I moved to Cape Town, South Africa (for now!)
If I’m not hiking or travelling, you are likely to find me cooking, riding horses or (weirdly enough) planning my next trip.
I’M 8 HOURS AHEAD – Where does the name come from?
In 2014 I studied abroad in Australia and was 8 hours ahead from everyone I knew. I started writing stories about my life abroad, made a bucket list and the name seemed fitting – now I’m only 1 hour ahead in winter, but the name has grown on me!
