As an Irish expat living in Malaga, Spain, Tenerife is never too far away. A few weeks ago, I decided to spend my birthday exploring this beautiful island. Here I am, recording on site in Tenerife, telling you all about the trip - including my awesome lounge experience, the medical emergency on board requiring me to give up my seat, two beautiful accommodations, two cats, ZERO turtles, jumping off a mountain, and my very first time going to the bottom of the ocean.
