About Me
Javier is a "young", enthusiastic guide with vast knowledge and inside information about Puerto Rico. He is a lot of fun, but very serious about customer satisfaction. He is passionate about his home country, Puerto Rico: its culture, history, architecture and natural resources. For almost 8 years He worked for the Puerto Rican government (Department of Natural Resources). He gave up his job as an engineer to do what he likes to do… show people around… However, he gained a lot of experience on the government and has a lot of stories to share. Javier is also a graduate of the Barbara Brennan School of Healing. One of the principles of energy healing is learning how to "listen" what are the client's real needs (from a deep perspective), and figuring out the best way to support them. Those skills are very handy while guiding private tours… we can really please our clients. As a World Champion Unicyclist, he has been able to travel all over the world. He has a lot of stories to tell about his journeys. Just like you, he knows what is like to be a traveler; and to be interested in getting to know the essence of every country. As a resident of Old San Juan since 1998, he is familiar (and willing to share) about the everyday life at the historic city.
