Hi! I’m Joel 😊
I’m originally from the Dominican Republic and currently living life with a mix of curiosity, spreadsheets, and good conversations. I studied biology, which means I’m naturally fascinated by how people, systems, and the world work — but outside of work I’m much more about sharing stories, learning from different cultures, and enjoying simple moments.

I’ve worked with international organizations and community health projects, so I’m very used to meeting people from all backgrounds and making them feel comfortable and welcome. I’m a poliglot (Spanish, English, Italian, Portuguese and maybe more), pretty organized (in case you ever lose your keys 😄), and I really enjoy calm, respectful environments with a good sense of humor.

I love meaningful conversations, learning new perspectives, and exchanging experiences over coffee, walks, or a relaxed meal. Whether you’re staying for a night or a few days, I’m always happy to share tips, stories, or just a good vibe. Looking forward to meeting you and making the world feel a little smaller 🌍✨
