Hi! I'm Iván, an enthusiastic podcast host based in Yakima, WA. With a deep passion for nature, hiking, and compelling storytelling, I invite you to embark on fascinating adventures through my podcast. 

I've traveled to Thailand, explored various national parks, and immersed myself in the wonders of Hawaii. A true 90’s kid from a Mexican immigrant parent family in the beautiful PNW. Spanish was my first language, which greatly shaped my cultural roots and capacity to connect with diverse groups. 

With over a decade of experience in the nonprofit industry, I excel at connecting with others, especially when it comes to our shared love for the outdoors. Join me on the podcast and let our authentic conversations ignite your own passion for adventure and meaningful connections!
