San Diego Salsa Festival
Magna at La Jolla beachI have visited the lovely US West Coast many times but the San Diego Salsa Festival was my first time there for a big event.  It was great to spend some time with old friends and meet many new ones.  My workshops were packed and the few dances that I had in the evenings were so much fun.  I can't wait to come back out to the West Coast.

Berlin Salsa Congress
Magna Gopal & Franco Sparfeld After two years of conversations with Franco, I finally was able to attend the Berlin Salsa Congress and what a great event.  It was one of the best congresses that I've attended and mainly because the instructors, performers, DJs and the attendees were all great people to be around so the whole weekend felt like being around good friends. See you all again next year.
