Who is Tonya and how I came to start Todos Y Tonya…

I am Tonya, mother, adventurer, traveler, optimist. Born and raised in the Zaan region, but also lived in the Gooi and surrounding areas for many years. (Where my Zaanse sobriety came in handy). I have enjoyed working in the travel industry (travel agencies) for almost 15 years, with the added advantage that I have been able to see and experience a lot of the world. That makes you a rich person, I think.

I then followed my heart for almost 15 years and turned my greatest passions, horses, into my work as a rider and instructor at a large riding school in Muiderberg, the netherlands. In the meantime, I had a family, a nice house, we traveled a lot, we enjoyed the good life and I was "just" very happy and satisfied.

But in 2017 my world changed instantly; I had breast cancer. How? I was happy, healthy and fit or so  I thought. A tough time followed, operations, chemo, beeing bald, no energy, "chemically depressed" and then very slowly trying to get back up. Now divorced, without a house, without horses, without a goal...

But now that I was healthy again and determined not to let things get tome, I made the decision to leave for Spain and builing my own business in tourism-industry once again. This resulted in this place: Todosytonya in campo but at the same time just 5 minutes from the autovia. A small paradise within one hour from Malaga and her beaches, In Andalucia's triangle: Granada, Ronda and Cordoba, but even Sevilla are within reasonable reach (1.20-2 hrs)

Emigrating on your own is not easy, but in my case I am happy, and by now even a little proud with the decision I made, with all I have accomplished here; a new life, in a new country, with a new language I enjoy learning, new friends, nice guests, but above all; in a a place that I enjoy, both living and working and where people enjoy themselfs and like to come back to...

Todos Y Tonya means "everyone and Tonya". So...
