7 years in Medellín.
A journey that became a calling.

I'm Tom. I came to Medellín in 2019 for what was supposed to be a six-month stay… and I never left.

MY STORY

In 2019, at the age of 20, I came to Colombia for a six-month internship. Seven years later, I'm still here.

What made me stay ? The neighborhoods. The people. The evening football games in the hills of northeast Medellín. A local coach named Camilo introduced me to places I would never have discovered on my own. That's where I truly understood what Medellín is all about.

Today, I help travelers discover these neighborhoods beyond the classic tourist routes, through experiences that are authentic, local and deeply human.

More than tours.

LOCAL IMPACT

Our experiences are built around meaningful encounters, genuine connections, and giving back to the local community.

Responsible, community-based tourism

In 2024, together with our travelers and our partner Technique Solaire, we helped fund the construction of a new playground in the hills of Comuna 3.

Every experience is created with local people. Every encounter is genuine. Every story is real. Every booking directly benefits the neighborhoods we visit.
