Alex was born and raised in Toronto, Canada. His parents are Ecuadorian, and Ecuador is the country he fell in love with.
He moved to Quito with one mission: to put Ecuador on the map. That mission became an Airbnb business, a tourism company and a new life built on GeoArbitrage.
On every Manhood Tour you travel with Alex or Manuel, not on a bus with 30 strangers. You don't get a guide. You get a friend who knows every corner of this country.
We handle every detail so you can focus on the trip.
