I'm a hiking and travel guide writer, photographer, and freelance web developer, originally from Mexico. I started traveling at 16, and by 18 I'd moved to France to study Mechanical Engineering, which is where the travel bug turned into a habit I couldn't shake.
Since then I've hiked many trails across Switzerland, Patagonia, Peru, and Jordan, and traveled to 59 countries. Nomad Paloma is where I write down what I actually found: real distances, real elevation gain, real costs, and an honest difficulty rating instead of a marketing one.
Most of my hiking happens on tight timelines, squeezed into vacation days from a full-time job, so every guide here is built for people without unlimited time either. I tell you what's worth the detour, what to skip, and how to get there without a car if you'd rather not rent one.
I'm not a certified mountain guide. What I offer instead is a trail I've walked myself, checked prices and transport, and a difficulty rating based on how it actually felt, not how a tourism board describes it.
New guides go up every week, along with corrected trail notes when something changes. If that's useful, start with any of my Switzerland hiking guides.
