I’m José Carlos Costa, an adventurer who decided to wander the world in search of discovering people, places and cultures.
After traveling to more than 50 countries, accumulating many stories and learning about the world, I decided to help as many people as possible to have this experience and live in the best way possible.
My mission is to inspire and empower anyone to travel more and better, providing tools and knowledge to explore the world in a conscious, authentic and enriching way.
From my experience in living with a diversity of people and cultures, it makes you know yourself deeply and helps you understand others better.
This makes the world more tolerant, fair and better to live in.
If you have always thought that many people are traveling and you are not.
You see that wonderful trip and think you’ll never be able to do one like it or you simply don’t know how.
For those who already know how to travel, but want to travel more and better.
Also for those who even go on a trip, but come back with that feeling that they didn’t enjoy what they should have.
Those who traveled but had their expectations disappointed.
And finally, those who want to travel more, spend less, experience the authentic side of a destination and turn their dream trip into reality.
Then I can assure you that you have found the right place.
I am not a “professional” traveler, that is, I am a worker who loves traveling, discovering new cultures and I have always used my “free” time to travel.
The Wander Traveler project, bringing together all my experiences in more than 30 years traveling the world, with the knowledge of other traveling friends, in addition to new technologies, offers tips, advice and suggestions, tested in practice, so that you can travel more and better.
In all these years I have experience ranging from a 5-star hotel to backpacking around the world, hiking in national parks and climbing high mountains.
Sleeping in hostels and budget hotels, transfers and hours of waiting for buses.
Dinner in the best restaurants or eat at that little street stall.
Having gone to the most traditional tourist attractions and also visited that hidden place that only locals know exists.
Currently I have chosen to travel freely, outside of any commitments and schedules.
Being able to explore places calmly, even if you have little time.
Today, with the experience and many techniques acquired over the years, I can make the best of each place and its culture efficiently and closer to the local population.
All recommendations are here because they help improve your experience.
Come with me to explore the world the way only you can.
