Making a mistake when buying a plane ticket can become your best summer memory. This is the experience of the music teacher and YouTuber Neus Rossell, who took a flight to Gran Canaria during Easter to visit a friend who actually lived in Tenerife. When she wanted to change her mind, the only available dates to go to her friend's house were in the summer, and on a few days when the friend wasn't there. Rossell, who had worked nonstop since she was 16—"first as a waitress, in a bakery, in a tobacco shop, and then as a teacher, and in the summer, as a summer camp instructor"—felt she should take a break that summer and understand what a real vacation was like. So, encouraged by her friends, she decided to go anyway and embark on what she considers her first solo trip, although she had lived in other places, but always with the shelter of school. "I woke up. I learned that we can do many things alone, a fact that society doesn't really understand. Everyone says you have to have someone. What the hell? Why not make a living?" she exclaims.

Communicator and teacher Neus Rossell (Sils, 1990) was raised in a very austere family, where "very little" was enough to make them "super happy." At just 16, she started working as a waitress in her hometown and hasn't stopped since: "While I was studying, I was always working. At 17, I started at a music school where I was a student, and when the season ended in the summer, I was at a summer camp."
