🌎 Mountains, Miles & Meaning with Luis of Vamos Hiking Crew 🥾✨

In this episode of Hikes & Mics, we’re joined by Luis—global adventurer, group hike leader, and founder of the Vamos Hiking Crew. Known on Instagram as @mrtraveler.me, Luis has explored 34 countries, summited over 65 peaks, and built a thriving hiking community that blends culture, connection, and courage on every trail.

From childhood hikes in Guatemala to drone-filming eruptions at Volcán de Fuego, Luis shares unforgettable stories that spark wanderlust and a deeper love for the outdoors. We dive into the origins of Vamos Hiking Crew, the importance of representation in nature, and the emotional clarity that comes from standing on a summit—whether it’s in Peru, California, or beyond.

🎙️ Tune in for global trail stories, leadership lessons, and the heart of a true explorer.
