I’m Isabel, I’m 29, currently living and working in Mallorca, Spain, and living my best life lol.
Before you start wondering where my accent is from, here’s a mini-introduction about myself:
I was born and grew up in Mallorca, Spain, dad Spanish and mom Aussie. My mom always spoke to me in English and my dad in Spanish, but I used to talk in Spanish most of the time, which I regret now because I would probably have a British accent if I hadn’t spoken in Spanish.
I went to Australia for the first time in 2016, after I finished University, in theory just for a gap year, but I loved it so much that ended up staying there until March 2020.
Then, my mom told me to come back to Mallorca because we didn’t know what was going to happen around the world, so I packed most of my stuff and returned home to Mallorca for what I thought was only going to be 6 months.
I really wanted to go back to Sydney in September 2020, but things didn’t go to plan (I think we all know why) and I ended up staying here much longer. So that’s when I started working full time at the finca (professionally known as an agrotourism).
Ever since I was little, I used to help my parents at the finca, either taking the guests horse riding, cleaning the pool, or doing some gardening. Now though, I can say this is my full-time job, and I really enjoy it - No schedule, no boss (well, my mom is my boss but we get along really well), and working for myself :)
The finca has been in my family for 300 years, and they established it as an agrotourism in 1990. As for my parents, this was always a hobby, but now I’m trying to turn it into a proper business. There are many things that need changing, renovating, and generally turning into a more professional outlook.
So, if you’re interested in what is like running an agrotourism, most of my content will be based on this topic. I might do other vlogs that have nothing to do with the finca, like clothing hauls, furniture flipping, and travel vlogs… so let me know if you like them, and I’m very excited to post more content and to get to know you all.
Take care,
Isabel

Interesting concept. So you mean it’s like a AirBNB? Can I rent that place? I have a family of 4. Wife and two daughters. How much it might cost?
Yes, is like an Airbnb! So at the finca we have 4 houses and 4 apartments (all self catered), and people just rent a house or an apartment during their holidays. We also have tennis court and swimming which are shared with other guests.
And prices go from 100€/night to 240€, depending on the house/apartment you rent.
Let me know if you decide to come over this summer :) would be lovely to meet you and your family.
Best wishes,
Isabel
Thanks! Ash forwarded me the link. I will save it
Amazing :)
I think your donkey needs an account too! Insane! and welcome.
!PIZZA
haha, that might work !
Hahaha I think she’ll be very popular :D
For now, I’ll make sure she’s on all of my vlogs :)
Nice to meet you!
Cool! Nice to meet you too!
Hahaha wasn't that donkey cute or what lol. I think an account would be an awesome choice lol
It is totally worthy!
Hola!! Sí! Tenés un acento úper británico!! Jaja! GEnial presentación! Me encantó! Quisiera conocer Mallorca, en breve seguramente, jeje.
Jajaja me han dicho que tengo acento sud-africano, alemán, sueco…un poco de todo
Mallorca es muy bonita, si puedes venir te lo recomiendo!
Un saludo :D
Your accent is so cute🤩 I think that the 9 to 5 drains the energy /life out of most people, I admire you for chosing to do what you like. Outdoor work feels much more rewarding! The donkey definetely did an awesome greeting lol, what a cute name she has! Welcome to Hive, you will love to share your life in here!🤗
Thanks 😊
I’ve always known I didn’t to work in an office, so I’m very happy and grateful for doing what I love :D
I’ll keep sharing more videos of the finca and the animals too
I just wished you would have met Pancho, the other donkey. He was Tatiana’s dad and the cutest/most friendly donkey I’ve ever met!!
Best regards,
Isabel :)
G'Hola!
Welcome in!
300 years in your family? That's crazy.
Are you going to do some posts about what you get up to in the development side of it as you build the business? Will there be authentic kangaroo riding? ;D
Now that travel is opening up again, is the draw of Sydney traffic calling to you?
Oh, that's a lot of questions :)
G’day!!
Thank you :)
Yes, many years in the family! My grandparents used to have bulls and cows here at the finca (therefore the name of the finca, which means “house of the bulls head” in mallorquín). I do wish we kept with the tradition and still had cows and bulls here, it would be fun :D
Unfortunately no kangaroos! wish I could just bring a few over next time I visit australia hahaha which might be at the end of this year
And I’ll do some posts about the business itself, and all the work we do to keep it going.
Nice to meet you :)
You'd have to wear less red though!
"House of the Bull's head" sounds like a good name for a pub btw.
I am a bit jealous - I haven't been back since 2008.
Looking forward to seeing more posts from you :)
It does sound like a really good name for a pub, never thought of that hahaha
I might get some sheep and goats to make it more like a proper farm :D
Great idea, more Kangaroos!
I think they are extinct on Mallorca, so it is really a reintroduction into the wild.
Pretty sure there are no Roos. Chickens are safe too as Foxes are gone (or didn't arrive) either.
G'day/Hola Isabel.
It's nice to have you on Hive. I look forward to seeing your blog unfold, it seems you will have some interesting things to post about. I think Asher has probably given you loads of hints and tips for Hive so I'll not bore you with more.
I'll see you around though.
Thank you so much!
I will have things to post every week for sure! It’s a never ending job hahaha
Yeah I’ve discussed with Asher a few topics I could Vlog about, all very good ideas (some a bit cheeky lol) :D
See you around :)
Cheeks, where :P
:P
Good ideas ✅
Cheeky ideas ✅
So...It seems like you're good to go.
I’ll try my best :)
No one, not even yourself, can ask for more. ✅
I give terrible advice :D
Haha, but she doesn't know that yet. So, it's all good.
I know now XD
Oops...Seems like the secret is out. 😮
Welcome to Hive Isabel!
Thank you so much :)
Welcome to HIVE, isabel
Thank you :)
Uuueeep Isabel!!!! welcome to Hive! Hello from Ibiza! Love the greeting Tatiana gave! look forward to your blogging!
Thank you! :)
Ibiza is a beautiful island, hopefully I’ll be going back this summer.
Nice to meet you :)
I think this summer Ibiza will be wild! I´m personally not looking forward to that party tourist invasion. I like the look for your farm, very quiet!
Hola!! ̣ Wow, the Finca looks awesome. I love the vlog I think it suits you to do them! :O) You might be right about it being better than the gym. Tatyana is awesome!
Hola! :D
Thank you :) My parents did a great job rebuilding and re-designing the finca, all credit to them :)
I’ll keep doing more vlogs then :D
I can promise you that there’s no need to go to the gym, if you’re working here every day lol
Hopefully Tatiana will have a new friend soon :)
I've been slogging the weights for months and a certain lady has twice as many!
Wow this is really nice welcome to hive and I will like to see more of your post

Welcome Isabel!
Yes to more manual labour vlogs and clothes hauls 😁
And more vlogs on any subject really, I like that you take the time to edit them.
I was told Donkey's are sociable animals and so a friend or two might be a good idea.
Have a nice weekend!
Thank you!
I really enjoy doing this type of videos, so I’ll keep doing some more.
Maybe a bikini haul coming soon hahaha
And I might just adopt a pony or a horse one day, so Tati has some company! Lol
Have a nice weekend :)
Asher says: Me and Tati are mates.
Tati says: Remove thy hand you rogue.
Can we at least share? 😉
This is lacking on Hive, I hope you can set a trend :P
Tati has been nicer to me this year, soon I'll feel confident enough to stand less than 2 meters away :D
When I will see only bikini posts on the Trending page of Hive...I shall know it was you hahahaha
Hopefully they will not look like this lol
😅
I will take the blame 😄
Hopefully not too many like that!
