Aloma, the influencer who shuns parties and photocalls: “They ask me if I’m autistic. I don’t have problems socializing, I just don’t want to”

Unlike María Pombo or Lola Lolita, this 22-year-old content creator is succeeding on the internet by staying at home in her pajamas and sharing with her over 100,000 followers how she drinks hot chocolate and plays 'Planet Zoo'. “There are many of us who feel uncomfortable with the consumerism and hyperproductivity seen on social media,” she says.

Coloma Orell Cortés, a 22-year-old from Palma, has gained over 100,000 followers on Instagram with her alter ego Aloma. In her free time, she lives in Cijuela, on the outskirts of Granada, with her boyfriend and dog Jack. On weekends, Coloma stays in her pyjamas and shares her simple domestic pleasures with her virtual community, including lighting candles, making hot chocolate, and playing games like Sudoku and Planet Zoo.
