Our Journey

Traveling changed my life, it has taught me in so many ways and has helped me grow as a person. Traveling helped me be comfortable with the uncomfortable. Nothing worth having is easy, and traveling is not for everyone. It requires patience, the ability to adapt to change and willingness to learn and explore.

​

I was born in Guayaquil, Ecuador 🇪🇨, and migrated to Brooklyn, New York, USA at the age of 2 years old. I grew up in the United States but every summer for vacation from school, we would travel to Ecuador, so I would maintain that culture from my home country. But then I started working in 2008 at the age of 16 and really became a workaholic and I let 9 years go by without traveling back to Ecuador. Finally in 2016 I decided it was time for me to reconnect with my roots, and this time I was an adult, 24 years old and saw everything from a different perspective, I loved the feeling of being away from the everyday life back in the USA. I was employed by Microsoft at the time and on my 5th year anniversary I quit and left to Ecuador for 2 months and immediately after went to Europe for the first time for 2 months.

​

After that I just wanted to travel, and I went to Ecuador every year since, and I had been planning a big travel trip for years and finally in 2023 saved enough to take a whole year and a half off where I was able to travel to 35 countries. Now I am truly addicted and continue to travel every year as much as possible. My personal goal is 2 new countries every year, which means if I travel somewhere I have already have been to, I must still try to hit 2 more countries.

​

I love taking long trips, usually 3 weeks or more, because a regular week vacation just doesn’t do it for me. Being able to get away and truly have a different day to day than the same routine of getting up and going to work 5-6 days a week and repeating the same thing.

​

I enjoy seeing new places, new people, new customs and of course new food. I love not knowing what lies ahead each day, and asking my self, “who will I meet today? What crazy adventure will I get into? what will be my new inspiration?”

Traveling puts me on new paths every time I embark on a new journey. As I listen to new perspectives, and different ideas, I often find myself craving new things.

Traveling is life, and I want to live mine to the fullest
