About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME
Hola! I am Joel from Peru. I love to travel as a local and discover and share new places and cultures. And meeting new and amazing people along the way.

Always ready to share a coffee and a good conversation.

In Lima, I loved to show my city to the people and my favorites spots. I can share the places with the best food and the best local experience.

I lived in Barranco, close to the malecon, close to the sea. :)

Now I living in Bucharest in Piata Romana, my favorite area of the city.

For me, it’s possible to talk in Spanish, Portuguese, and English.

I can cook peruvian food if you want, or maybe you prefer a pisco sour?

I like to share experiences and memories from the travels with others travelers, and have also, a good conversation about random topics.

I love to dance and be part of small live concerts.

Hikings, mountain bike, kayak and visit Museums, are my favorites activities.

PHILOSOPHY
For me, the life is the best gift we have, and for this, we need to enjoy every day and continue learning about it. The life is for the living.

The world will be a better place to live, when we can understand the important about sharing, to make community, and help the people in need.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm really open with the information I have for traveling. I know the difficulties when you had been in a new country with different culture, different language and other mentality.
