Description

Hola a todos👋🏻! I’m Alberto, a friendly, open-minded traveler with a warm Latin soul. Over the last 7 years I've been backpacking and volunteering across Latin America, Europe, and Asia.

I now live a simpler, conscious lifestyle focused on real human connection, nature, and less materialism. After shifting away from a high-pressure career and business, I prefer spontaneous experiences, outdoor life, and meaningful moments, whether that’s hiking, cooking tacos together 🌮, working on a project, or watching the sunset 🌅.

I love connecting with people from all walks of life. I'll be happy to share stories, exchange a bit of my Mexican culture 🪇🪅, and learn along the way about yours.

Feel free to message if you want to chat, practice Spanish, or share a travel idea.
Open to travel suggestions and unexpected paths!

--THE REST OF 2026--
I'll be travelling through southern Mexico (Bacalar, Cancún, Mérida, Valladolid), Chiapas and Oaxaca coasts, and possibly Guatemala.

Looking for volunteering with NGOs, social/nature projects, sea/boats, and small/mid hostels (I like to socialize and they are great for it). Open to long-term stays for the right project, while also traveling independently, camping, and meeting other travelers.

Saludos!
