What places and activities do you specialize in?

"I've traveled across the Americas for over 10 years, from Brazil to Canada, through Mexico and all Central America. For me, Panama stands out as a hidden gem, and of course Canada, as the country I grew up in, will always be a special place that I wish everybody could discover the way I did!

My personal explorations have enriched my comprehension of the continent's diverse landscapes. My love for nature and the ocean, I am well-versed in various ocean-focused activities and nature hikes. Additionally, my passion for culture and music guarantees a finely tuned experience of cultural events and city wandering, extending your journey beyond landscape exploration to a genuine immersion in the vibrant tapestry of local cultures."

How did you get involved in travel?

"Since childhood, I've known that travel would be an integral part of my life.

During my young adulthood, I had the opportunity to get myself into long-distance sailing, navigating diverse oceans and engaging in projects ranging from chartering to artistic endeavors. These experiences led me to fluently speak four languages, a skill that proves quite handy in many aspects of my work. Currently based in Mexico, I actively support various events and retreats while also leading nature hikes."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"After 42 days at sea, sailing across the Pacific Ocean, arriving in the Polynesian islands was breathtaking. I smelled the land before I saw it. Rediscovering life on land brought out the most beautiful colors, smells, and textures, making me appreciate how precious it all is. This unique experience is forever engraved in my memories and has deepened my connection and fueled my desire of discovering always more about the ocean and its wonders. "
