Until I was 8 years old, I lived in La Romana, a small town with 2,500 inhabitants in the Spanish province of Alicante. But in 2009 my family decided to renovate an old country house nearby. They intended for it to be used on weekends, but the place was so quiet and beautiful that we decided to live there.
Other children came to visit us in the countryside on weekends, but the rest of the time I was alone. I never had anything like a PlayStation or a Wii. In fact, until 2013 I didn't know about the internet. Instead I loved to play outside and build cabins with used materials that I found on our land.
