Mini bio
How it started.
Juan grew up in La Ceja, Antioquia, and trained as an administrative engineer. A volunteer trip to Russia introduced him to people from around the world. Backpacking through South America then led him to share his experiences online and help other people plan their travels.
Finding his audience.
He spent four years fitting trips around his professional work before making travel his focus. By December 2018, his Instagram community had passed 106,000 followers, and he was working with Honor. In that interview, he explained how a growing community encouraged him to build a brand around his travels.
Travelling together.
His work now includes destination guides and collaborations with travel brands and tourism organisations. In 2026, he joined CzechTourism’s Meeting Point DestinoChequia programme and the TEDxRionegro speaker lineup. His recent videos take fans through Santander’s landscapes and food, a Guatapé hotel stay and travel planning tools.
