IG: @explorewithelton CURRENT MISSION Enjoy life, travel and keep improving my language skills. ABOUT ME ¡Hablo Español también!!! I'm a truly "Yu di Kòrsou" (how locals call Curaçaoans in Papiamentu), born and raised in Curaçao in a local neighbourhood just west of Otrobanda. While growing up I was always curious about the world, wanting to know more about other countries, how they look like, how their people are, what they eat etc. I'm a very simple, social and open-minded island guy who loves the beach, snorkeling, hiking, spending time with family and friends, playing dominoes and cards, playing sports (volleyball and softball/baseball when possible and for fun ;-), listen to music, watch movies, video-games (N64, yes I have one and it still works!), reading etc. Needless to say: travelling is my passion! After finishing school in Curaçao I studied and lived for 6 years in The Netherlands. During this time had the opportunity to work, save money and travel as much as I could and now I have quite a lot of travel experience, but for me it's still not enough as there are many other parts of the world I'd like to visit. As long as my health and wallet allows me to, I'll keep on travelling the globe! PHILOSOPHY Live your life, do what you like to do without hurting yourself and others, and always be yourself! Don't complain about little things and be happy and grateful with what you have, keeping in mind that hundreds of millions don't even have running water or a roof above their heads!

¡Hola! Soy Brayan Tinoco, un joven colombiano orgullosamente barranquillero que actualmente vive en la hermosa isla de Curaçao. Soy psicólogo de profesión y una persona que disfruta profundamente conectar con otras culturas, escuchar historias y crear conversaciones auténticas con gente de todo el mundo. 🇨🇴 Como buen colombiano, nunca digo que no a una buena taza de café, disfruto bailar casi cualquier ritmo latino y siempre estoy listo para una charla interesante, ya sea sobre viajes, vida, cultura o experiencias personales. Me considero alguien abierto, amable y con muy buena energía. Viajar es una de mis mayores pasiones porque me permite descubrir nuevas formas de ver el mundo y aprender de cada persona que conozco en el camino. Gracias a mi profesión, valoro mucho las conexiones humanas genuinas y los espacios donde las personas pueden sentirse cómodas siendo ellas mismas. Hello! My name is Brayan Tinoco, a proud young Colombian from the city of Barranquilla, currently living on the beautiful island of Curaçao. I’m a psychologist by profession and someone who truly enjoys connecting with different cultures, listening to stories, and creating genuine conversations with people from all around the world. 🇨🇴 As a true Colombian, I can never say no to a good cup of coffee. I love dancing to almost any Latin rhythm, and I’m always up for an interesting conversation — whether it’s about travel, life, culture, or personal experiences. I consider myself open-minded, friendly, and full of positive energy. Traveling is one of my greatest passions because it allows me to discover new ways of seeing the world and learn from every person I meet along the way. Thanks to my profession, I deeply value genuine human connections and spaces where people can feel comfortable being themselves.

Soy un chico profesional, cariñoso e amable quien gusta viajar y mostrar a mi isla a los visitantes y conocer gentes y culturas nuevas. I'm a professional gentleman, kind and good-mannered who likes to travel and show to visitors my island and get to know new people and cultures.

I like to play violin in all kinds of circumstances. Lately I played a Turkish song for a marriage proposal in a park in Amsterdam, and I discovered playing mantra's and kirtans. Also I played with dj's on dance events like Mysteryland. Back in the days in Amsterdam I mainly played baroque music on period instruments in churches and kirtans with the yogis😇 Apart from that I became (sports)masseur so if needed I could squeeze your muscles in return for hosting me:) Update: last seven years I have been living on Curacao, Carribean, where I taught the violin and played salsa. I turned vegan and became an animal love. Now I am traveling and volunteering in Turkiye and Indonesia is next!
