Customizable travel recommendations proposed by the local in-destination expert.
Why should travelers choose you above other local in-destination experts?
For the last 10 years, I have worked for some of the top tour companies in the world. I went from leading tours all over Europe and Morocco to leading a team of 35 tour leaders across China & Russia, as Intrepid Travel´s Operations manager.
What type of traveler appreciates your adventures?
Definitely, the curious type that wants to go in-depth in one destination. If you just want to tick boxes, I am not your guy. If you want to take tour time and get under the skin of the location, contact me.
What is one of your favorite experiences which you’ve been able to build for guests?
Whilst in China I created a trekking tour along some of the unrestored sections of the Great Wall. Homestays, camping, great local food and stories were part of this adventure.
Share the one travel experience that you will never forget
Last year I went up the Acatenango volcano in Guatemala. It was a cloudy day so we were worried we would not be able to get good views at the basecamp. That night mother nature helped us and we saw multiple eruptions of the nearby Fuego Volcano.
