Hey! I’m Joel 🇻🇪 based in Miami, Florida 🌴
A passionate musician and photographer, curious traveler, and improvised chef — if you give me a kitchen, I’ll cook you a meal that will make you very happy 🍝✨
(Warning: after tasting my food, you might start dancing like a real Latino 😎)

I’ve been traveling for months with just a small backpack 🎒
Why? Because the best stories don’t fit in a big suitcase. From hidden beaches to deserts, traveling light has taken me very far:

Countries I’ve explored:
🇺🇸 USA – where I live
🇪🇸 Spain
🇮🇹 Italy
🇫🇷 France
🇵🇹 Portugal
🇹🇷 Turkey
🇮🇱 Israel
🇯🇴 Jordan
🇪🇬 Egypt (yes, I walked next to the pyramids 🐪✨)
🇲🇽 Mexico
🇨🇴 Colombia
🇧🇷 Brazil
🇦🇷 Argentina
🇵🇦Panama
🇨🇷 Costa Rica

And many more across South America and Europe… always chasing the next adventure and new friends to travel with ✈️🔥

What I love:
🏞️ Nature, hiking, endless beaches
🎤 Karaoke + music (if there’s no music, I’ll create it)
😂 Easy laughs, deep conversations & real people
🏍️ Adventure and adrenaline
📸 Capturing moments everyone else forgets

When I’m back in Miami, I have a place where travelers can stay, feel at home, and enjoy the city like a local 😄🏡
If you visit, the coffee is ready and the guitar is tuned!

I’ve been traveling for 3 months with only a small backpack…
and I’ve collected friendships, experiences, and gratitude instead of things ❤️

If you have a couch, a bed, an air mattress, or a tiny piece of the floor…
I’m blessed! 😆

Let’s make memories as crazy as the passport stamps!
