Lava [Tenerife]

Tenerife in March was exactly the sweet escape I desperately needed. After burning out, getting fired, and filing a lawsuit against my boss, it felt like the ground beneath me was constantly shifting, and I couldn’t catch my breath. Life had become a pressure cooker. During one of our late-night talks, I opened up to my dear friend Marta, who was also going through a rough patch. We decided to rent a van and spend a week exploring Tenerife, inspired by the mindset I had during my solo trip to Lanzarote the year before: an experience that completely transformed my mental health. I hoped this trip would have had the same impact. Tenerife, with its rugged coastlines, volcanic landscapes, and year-round spring weather, is a natural refuge for anyone seeking a reset. Its diverse terrain, ranging from black-sand beaches to lush forest, offers a perfect balance of adventure and serenity. andrejrusskovskij.com/lava-tenerife/
