Puerto Rico (self-governing island commonwealth of the West Indies, associated with the United States)
ABOUT ME:
I was born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and have lived here my entire life. While I have explored various countries for hiking, backpacking, and backcountry camping, my heart has always remained with the natural beauty of Puerto Rico. From a young age, I was captivated by the wonders of nature, particularly mountains, waterfalls, and serene ponds.
With 30 years of hiking experience, I’ve developed a deep love for backpacking, trail exploration, and discovering hidden gems in the wilderness. I even have my own trails in the high mountains that I regularly explore.
My academic background includes a degree in Business Administration and Philosophy, along with an MBA, and I am fully bilingual in English and Spanish.
I take great pride in showcasing the unique natural beauty and cultural heritage of my island. Above all, I’m passionate about ensuring that every visitor feels welcomed and cared for, making their experience truly unforgettable.
