bio

Hi! I’m Miguel — an artist, storyteller, and nature lover who believes that travel is one of the most powerful ways to connect with ourselves and the world around us. Whether I’m creating something in the studio or exploring new landscapes, I’m always searching for beauty, inspiration, and real connection.

This journey is about more than just seeing a new place — it’s about shared experiences, cultural discovery, and giving ourselves the space to reset and reconnect. I’ve put my heart into crafting a trip that blends adventure, creativity, and reflection, and I’d love for you to be part of it.

If you’re ready to travel with intention, meet incredible people, and make memories that last a lifetime… I can’t wait to share this with you. Let’s go! 🌍✨

Costa Rica > San José Sojourn with Miguel

From San José’s colorful neighborhoods to tranquil vineyard views, are you ready to experience an immersive blend of culinary delights and cultural experiences? Explore vibrant local markets and taste authentic Costa Rican dishes on a bites and sights walking food tour. Join a craft beer workshop showcasing Costa Rica’s emerging brews, and a garden-to-table five-course tasting menu that highlights fresh, local ingredients in a lush botanical setting. Then, enjoy a visit to Copey Estate Winery with tours, tastings, and a unique physalis liqueur experience. Evenings come alive during a nighttime tour of Costa Rica's capital city, offering a lively mix of street eats, local music, and artisan crafts that capture the city’s dynamic vibe. No trip to Costa Rica will be complete without sampling its coffee! We'll taste the delicious flavors of Costa Rican coffee during a coffee cupping experience. I guarantee we'll head home with the sight, sounds, and taste of Costa Rica lingering in our minds (and tummies).
