About me

As an avid traveler myself, I know that the absolute best travel memories don't come from guidebooks—they come from connecting with locals who know the true soul of a place.
I am completely in love with my country, its warm people, rich culture, and breathtaking landscapes. I know Guayaquil, and most of Ecuador like the back of my hand, from the iconic sights to the cozy hidden spots only locals know about.
Whether you want to explore local food markets, dive into our rich culture and history, or just enjoy a great conversation with a local friend, I’ve got you covered! I am 100% fluent in both English and Spanish, so communication will be smooth and seamless.

    Eating Like a Local

    TIP vs. 🪤 TRAP: Eating Like a Local
    🪤 The Trap: Eating at restaurants situated directly on the main tourist plazas with multi-language picture menus out front. You pay premium prices for mediocre, adapted versions of our traditional food.
    💡 The Insider Tip: Walk just 2 or 3 blocks off the main tourist strip into the neighborhood streets! Look for places packed with locals during lunchtime ordering the \"Menu del Día\" / local daily lunch special. You’ll get authentic, mouth-watering local cuisine at true local prices! 🍽️😋
