About me

Hey, I’m Manuel — Peruvian by birth, raised in Spain, and currently living in the Netherlands. I’ve always been driven by curiosity and a passion for discovering the world. For me, travel is one of the best ways to feed your sould and spirit. I’d describe myself as humble, easygoing, open-minded, and someone who naturally likes to make people feel included and comfortable. One of the things I value most while traveling is the people you meet along the way and the stories you share together. I’m genuinely fascinated by different cultures and ways of life. I have a soft spot (or little obsession😁) for hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path destinations, although I enjoy every style of travel — from a relaxing weekend on the Mediterranean coast, to visiting remote African tribal communities, to hiking through the Himalayan mountains. Basically, if it brings new perspectives and memorable experiences, I’m in! I enjoy an active travel style, but I also appreciate balance: slow moments, meaningful conversations, amazing food, or simply sharing a drink somewhere beautiful while taking it all in.

I’ve been working in the Netherlands in the e-bike industry, doing my bit to help make the world a more sustainable place. Whenever I can, I love to escape somewhere new and feed my endless curiosity for cultures, people, and experiences.

Difficult to choose one.. but hey, I was born in Peru. Thay may give you a hint.
I often say that traveling is not a luxury, but a necessity — essential for both mental well-being and personal growth. It helps us understand humanity from a broader perspective, discover different ways of living, helping others, and becoming more conscious and sustainable travelers. Some of the best experiences in life are born through travel, and while I’m grateful to have collected many unforgettable memories already, I know the adventure is far from over. I’m excited to keep exploring, learning, and creating new memories
