Aíslin Johnston
Aislín Johnston
Content Writer
Aislín Johnston was raised in the US and Ireland where she studied Law with Politics at Queen's University Belfast before deciding to move to Spain in 2013 "for a year". Over five years and four cities later she decided to wander further around the globe, spending two years making Australia and Vietnam her home. She returned to Spain in 2020 and currently bases herself in Valencia.
Aislín has been lucky enough to be able to work in a huge variety of sectors while following her passion for written content, including finance, education, and even the spirits industry. She spent two years representing a Top 5 Global Spirits Brand in their marketing program, stretching her ability to create content that engaged in both English and Spanish.
When she's not planning her next adventure she's most likely to be found with her nose stuck in a book, practicing yoga, or spending time with her friends. She hopes to become a dog mother again soon and get around to the novel she's been meaning to write.

Joseph Blackmore
Digital Marketing Coordinator
Joseph Blackmore was born in the UK and grew up in the countryside just south of London. He studied International Law at the University of Leeds and moved out to Spain in 2020 to learn Spanish.
Before working in marketing, Joseph spent a year teaching English in Madrid and later managing translations for video games. Realizing he missed having a creative outlet, he decided to move into marketing where he could make better use of his communication skills.
When he isn’t rock-climbing or hiking, you’ll find Joseph checking out art exhibitions or trying a new recipe in the kitchen. Madrid is home for now, but he hopes to relocate to Mexico City once he has perfected his Spanish.
