🛫 Let’s Take the First Hop Together

Hi, I’m Justo — traveler, storyteller, and believer in first hops.

For me, it all started back in 2nd Grade — when a strict nun at my Catholic school taught me (a little too harshly) that curiosity sometimes gets you in trouble. 😅

Since then, life’s been a series of balancing acts — between schools, states, and eventually, worlds.

My path took me from the Air Force to the world of compliance & consulting, where I now help life-science companies bring structure and confidence to complex systems.

But outside of work, I’ve always needed a different kind of adventure — one that doesn’t involve regulations or spreadsheets.

That’s where travel comes in.

Scuba diving, breweries, vineyards, city walks, languages, and food — these are where I recharge, reflect, and reconnect.

And the best part? My wife loves to travel just as much, so most of these adventures are shared ones.

Travel isn’t about checking boxes for me.

It’s about perspective — and helping others find theirs.

If you’ve ever wanted to explore but felt nervous to take that first step, I get it.

We’ve all been there. But every journey, no matter how far, starts with that first hop.
