You know how in English we say, “I was in my element,” to mean, “I felt really at home, I felt comfortable”?

Well, today I found out how to say this in Spanish.

My colleague was telling us about a trip he had made at the weekend to a gold-mining town in the north of Colombia. The trip involved hours on bad roads and river-crossings in boats, basically all the things we love.

“I was in my sauce,” he said.
