Hello everyone! I'm José, originally from beautiful Ecuador and living in Portugal for the past 7 years. I'm a data analyst by profession, but my true passions lie in cinema, travel, and meaningful human connections.

I’m queer and love meeting open-minded, interesting people from all walks of life—especially while on the road. I enjoy reading, exploring new places, diving into different cultures and dancing the night away. For me, sharing experiences and exchanging worldviews is one of the most enriching parts of travel.

Whether it’s deep conversations over coffee, spontaneous adventures, or simply enjoying the moment, I’m always excited to connect and create memories with fellow travelers.
