Hi, I’m Nelson, a Colombian tourism professional and passionate traveler from Cartagena. With over 10 years of experience in customer service and several years working in tourism, hospitality, logistics, and international cruise operations, I’ve had the opportunity to meet people from all over the world and learn what makes a travel experience truly memorable. My experience working aboard international cruise ships and in tourism has taught me how to connect with people from different cultures, organize experiences, solve problems, and make guests feel comfortable and welcome. But what I love most is sharing the Colombia that you won’t always find in a guidebook, our culture, food, history, landscapes, music, traditions, and everyday life. As your local host, my goal is not simply to show you places. I want you to understand the stories behind them, meet the people who make them special, and experience Colombia in a genuine and personal way. Whether you're visiting Cartagena for the first time or looking to discover a different side of Colombia, I’ll be there to make your experience feel authentic, relaxed, and unforgettable. Come as a traveler, leave with a Colombian story to tell. 🇨🇴
