Did I know all this facts and was I aware of all these figures before my plane touched down on that hot, sunny and glorious summer's day what seems like an eternity ago? No. Did I know I were to fall in love with the island and more that very summer? No. Did the thought pass my mind that here was where I was going to spend the rest of my life? No. Did I know this was part of my destiny? I had no idea. All I knew was that I had 5 fantastic weeks ahead of me and that I was going to enjoy every moment of them.
But 5 weeks turned into 12 months, and 12 months then turned into 2 years, then 2 years turned into 4. And here I am, 2 739.31649 days later. There's not a day when I look back, and not a single part of me that wants to moved back to my native UK.
I love my island. I love everything about it. The culture, the gastonomy, the people, the language, the landmark, the turqoise blue sea. I love my life on my island. And that is what I wish to share with you. Life on my Island. Mallorca.
