☀️ Hola, I’m Joie! I’m a California native but have also lived in New York, Mexico, Colombia, Spain, and various parts of the world. I moved out of NY in May of 2019, sold most of my stuff, and have been a nomad ever since! 😊✈️   

🌎 I’ve been to over 45 countries so far — several of which I return to over and over again. I really value slow travel, and I love working from and living in different places around the world. I spend most of my time in Mexico City, Medellín, and lately — summers in Barcelona/Europe.  

✨ I believe the best travel happens when you slow down. My guides will help you explore Mexico and Latin America with confidence, so you can stay longer, live like a local, and collect unforgettable stories.
