Su perrita fue la inspiración para iniciar una vida sobre ruedas. Ahora recorren juntas Europa

Por Karen Esquivel, CNN en Español

Mariana Royo encontró en su perrita Ak el impulso para adoptar una vida en contacto con la naturaleza. Juntas han atravesado montañas, valles y pueblos apartados de Europa a bordo de su vehículo 4×4, en una travesía que ya suma kilómetros, aprendizajes y experiencias. Su próximo destino comenzará en unas semanas.

Mariana nació en Huesca, una ciudad en el noreste de España. Pasó buena parte de su infancia en un pequeño pueblo del Pirineo aragonés, donde se alzan algunos de los picos más altos de la cordillera, entre ellos el Aneto, Posets y Monte Perdido.

Los paisajes que la rodeaban la llevaron a enamorarse de la naturaleza y de la sensación de libertad. Además, solía viajar con sus padres en una furgoneta y acampar al aire libre. Aunque disfrutaba esas salidas, con el tiempo empezó a buscar una experiencia más tranquila.

En entrevista con CNN, cuenta que desde niña desarrolló una personalidad independiente, marcada por la necesidad de ir a su propio ritmo, mantenerse lejos de las multitudes y disfrutar de la soledad. Por eso, dice, su vida de viajera comenzó a tomar forma desde muy temprano.

Por esa razón, explica, tampoco se siente cómoda en trabajos fijos o en espacios cerrados durante toda la jornada. En invierno trabaja como profesora de snowboard y, aunque estudió para auxiliar veterinaria, no le gustaba pasar el día entre cuatro paredes.

“No sé si será por mi TDAH [Trastorno por Déficit de Atención e Hiperactividad], pero yo me aburro de los trabajos y necesito cambio, necesito tener trabajos al aire libre”, indica.

Aunque esta forma de vida no ha estado libre de imprevistos y desafíos, Mariana —ahora de 28 años— no ha dejado de ir de montaña en montaña y de pueblo en pueblo, siempre acompañada por su fiel compañera.

La historia de Mariana y Ak comenzó cuando ella tenía 20 años y la pequeña dálmata apenas había cumplido uno. Su entonces dueño ya no podía hacerse cargo del animal y la joven decidió convertirla en su compañera de vida.

“Es un trasto (traviesa), es muy loca”, dice. “Tiene mucha energía, también es muy desconfiada con los desconocidos. No diría que es un perro tan sociable; es un poco como yo”.

Cuenta que también es leal y obediente. “No se separa de mí jamás, aunque haya otro perro o algún estímulo exterior. De hecho, creo que está aquí abajo del coche ahora mismo”, dice sentada en su camioneta Santana, estacionada a un lado de la carretera.

Con Ak en su vida, Mariana tenía un objetivo claro: viajar con ella a todas partes y disfrutar del aislamiento, sin ruido ni multitudes, a su propio ritmo y con sus propios planes.

“Cuando viajas con un perro muchas cosas se vuelven más complicadas. Quedarte en un hotel es muy complicado y a mí me gusta ir a mi bola. El ir con mi perra las dos solas, tranquilas, esquivando un poco a la gente… las dos no somos muy sociables”, comenta.

Esa fue la motivación que la llevó a buscar un vehículo con el que pudiera recorrer los Pirineos y otros lugares apartados. Así encontró una Santana Aníbal, un todoterreno que compró en 2023 con sus ahorros y que comenzó a transformar en un espacio habitable y equipado para viajar.

“Cuando cogí este coche ya tenía en mente que quería hacerlo mi casa, adaptarlo para vivir aquí adentro. Tampoco algo súper elaborado porque todo tenía que ser hecho por mí y he tardado tres años en camperizarlo”, cuenta.

La bautizó como “Lenteja” y la acondicionó con una cama, una tienda de campaña, una pequeña cocina y otros elementos que le permiten llevar una vida más cómoda junto a Ak.

Con Lenteja y Ak, Mariana puso en marcha su proyecto overland y abrió una nueva etapa en la carretera.

Comenzaron por los Pirineos, en el norte de España, una ruta de paisajes imponentes que reúne cascadas, bosques frondosos, ríos y montañas. Después siguieron por la Cordil

Israel shared intel on Iranian hardliners’ desire to target Trump, sources say, as Netanyahu looks to influence course of war

President Donald Trump steps off Air Force One to board the new Qatari-gifted Boeing plane

(CNN) — The Israeli intelligence shared with the Trump administration of Iranian threats to assassinate President Donald Trump reflected a desire among elements of Tehran’s hardline leadership to target the American leader, according to an Israeli source and a US official, rather than a specific, detailed plan to carry out such an operation.

The new commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Ahmad Vahidi, was part of the group advocating for such a plan, the Israeli source told CNN. Vahidi has been included in lists of “obstructionists” within the regime who are viewed by the Trump administration as actively undermining negotiations, according to a source familiar with US planning. The US has considered directly targeting leaders on the list if full-scale war resumes, the source said.

Two US sources familiar with the matter said recent US intelligence assessments show no indication of a new, specific Iranian plot to kill Trump, but rather a steady drumbeat of chatter about various Iranian actors wanting to do so. The desire to target Trump is not unique to Iran’s leadership. Mourners at the days-long funeral for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed by Israel in the opening strikes of the war in late-February, held signs calling on Iran to kill Trump.

In a Friday interview with the New York Post Trump downplayed the significance of the Israeli intelligence, first reported by the Wall Street Journal on Thursday, saying that Iran had long threatened his life.

“Israel came up with nothing,” he said, describing himself as Iran’s “number one” target “for a long time.”

The intelligence sharing by Israeli officials comes at a time when Israel has been increasingly sidelined as the Trump administration grapples with how to end its war with Iran. Two Israeli sources say the Trump administration doesn’t want Israel involved in the fighting over concerns of losing control of the conflict.

One of the sources said the prevailing Israeli assessment is that Trump does not want a return to a full-scale war and that the most he may be willing to do is to reinstate the naval blockade on Iranian ports.

Trump, on Friday, posted to Truth Social that “the United States has stated to them, in no uncertain terms, that the Cease Fire is OVER!,” referencing Iranian leadership, while adding that he had agreed to continue talks aimed at restoring a pause in fighting.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been skeptical of Iran’s intentions in ongoing talks and has never believed Tehran was negotiating in good faith. Instead, Netanyahu has favored a return to war in an effort to weaken the regime.

US intelligence officials are broadly aware that Israel feels cut out of the decision-making process and is ramping up efforts to influence the Trump administration’s thinking on Iran in multiple ways with the goal of steering them away from accepting what it considers a bad deal, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

The sources said there is a measure of skepticism within the US intellig

EPA green-lights more PFAS pesticides despite scientific concerns over toxicity

An average of 2.5 million pounds of PFAS pesticides are sprayed on California crops each year

By Sandee LaMotte, CNN

(CNN) — The US Environmental Protection Agency quietly approved the use of three new PFAS pesticides last week to kill insects on the nation’s crops. An additional two “forever chemical” pesticides were approved in November 2025, for a total of five during the second Trump administration.

Nearly 40% of nonorganic fruits and vegetables grown in California already contain traces of PFAS pesticides, according to a March report. California is significant because the state supplies nearly half of the vegetables and more than three-quarters of the fruits and nuts eaten in the United States.

The EPA itself says perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, are linked to a higher risk of cancer, obesity, thyroid disease, high cholesterol, decreased fertility, reproductive and developmental disruptions, and damage to the immune system. PFAS are known as “forever chemicals” because the carbon-fluoride bonds — one of the strongest in nature — remain in the environment for years, decades or possibly even centuries.

Despite public fears and scientific warnings about the dangers of PFAS to human health, the administration has already delayed or rolled back strict rules set by the Biden administration on levels of toxic PFAS in drinking water.

“We’re seeing the Trump administration do everything they can to continue our exposure to PFAS,” said Jared Hayes, a senior policy analyst at the Environmental Working Group, or EWG, a nonprofit focused on protecting human health and the environment.

“Unfortunately, our exposure is being increased, not decreased,” Hayes said. “We’re seeing drinking regulations changed. We’re seeing new PFAS pesticides being approved on a regular basis, much faster than the previous administration.”

During the Biden presidency, the EPA approved one new PFAS pesticide.

Conflict-of-interest concerns

The new EPA approvals angered members of the “Make America Healthy Again,” or MAHA movement, which had originally rallied behind the Trump administration’s promises to reduce toxic chemicals in food and water.

MAHA supporters have expressed outrage against the approval of industry-affiliated candidates for positions of power within the EPA and on scientific advisory committees. While the revolving door between employment at federal agencies and industry is a chronic complaint, critics say the Trump administration has taken it to new levels.

Those financial ties to industry could lead officials to favor “industry’s profits over people’s health,” Alexandra Munoz wrote in public comments opposing candidates who were later approved to serve on the EPA’s Science Adv
