Hey everyone! I'm Joaquin!, a 51-year-old from Maryland. I truly believe that the best way to travel isn't fast, but with intention and by making real connections with locals

Back home, my life is pretty calm. I spend my time cooking, hitting up vintage shops, and exploring lesser-known local spots. I'm especially passionate about being creative whether it's working with clay, crocheting or upcycling my old cloths.

As a surfer, I'm quiet, very neat, and respectful of space and routines. I travel with an open mind, not a checklist of sights. I'm just as happy having a deep chat over a homemade meal as I am simply sharing a comfortable silence.
