Nico Escobar

Arequipa, Peru

Hey there! I'm a slow-traveler with roots in Peru and the U.S., currently embracing the nomadic life. My passion for capturing life through a lens has taken me from the colorful streets of Merida to the hidden eateries of Lima. My love for food and a good story drives my travels – I'm always searching for that next delicious meal and the untold stories behind it. With a food and beverage management background, I don't just stumble upon foodie havens; I seek them out. My camera is my constant companion, ready to snap the vibrant life of the streets, the quiet beauty of the landscapes, and the authentic moments that you can't find in a travel brochure. Being native in English and Spanish has opened doors to friendships and experiences worldwide, enriching my journey and the tales I can tell. I'm your person if you're curious about where to find the best late-night taco stand or the most scenic sunset spot that only locals know about. I'm all about diving into the local scene, discover

I prioritize sustainable travel that balances touristy and uncommon activities, saving money and investing in experiences, leaving my comfort zone and recharging. A firm believer that nothing goes according to plan, I also believe that having a plan saves time, money, and energy. I get outside as frequently as possible and love to empower others to do the same.

I love to explore cities by foot, taking in the sights and culture at a leisurely pace while talking to as many locals as I can! Good food, drinks, and coffee at reasonable prices are important to me. I spent a about a year traveling Europe as a solo-backpacker and I loved every minute of it! Now I am a teacher and married and we travel as often as I have school breaks. I spend my weekends on romantic getaways and my big trips are always international! I'm ready to share all of my experience and expertise with you!

How good do I really know Peru and why does that make this a great product? I spent 6 months in Peru for an internship. After 2 months my parents flew over to travel around Peru with me. This way we could spend Christmas and New Year’s together and my parents had their first unforgettable trip outside of Europe. Here is a complete Peru itinerary that includes all the amazing stops that the country is famous for!
