The Wanderer
Irene is a crazy girl who loves to feel free and enjoy life to the fullest, she is adventurous and wanders from city to city doing odd jobs to earn some money and when she gets bored she takes a bus and goes somewhere else.
One of those days, when getting off the bus she arrived to a small town called Lagunillas, the people there were very kind and soon she got a job as a receptionist in an inn.
One night after work she went to a bar, she danced and had a few beers with a boy named Vicent, they had a very pleasant conversation. Irene was attracted to him, so they planned to see each other again.
As months pass by Irene feels that she has fallen in love for the first time, nobody has ever made her feel loved and protected, she had found a home in that small town and did not want to leave as she always did. It was as if, from city to city, her heart was in search of love and now she had found it.
