Born in a town on the Camino Primitivo in the foggy mountains of Asturias, Josefina is a world traveller, spending over 10 years in Asia, where she worked as a translator, Spanish instructor and artistic coordinator. She uses her extensive knowledge of Spain’s history, culture and landscapes to design and lead many of our trips. A true nature lover, she is familiar with the esoteric side of the Caminos and knows locals even in the smallest hamlets, where to find the best honey, wines and tasty treats, secret water springs & shortcuts when needed. As a practitioner of zen meditation, she has introduced short periods of optional “walking with consciousness” into her trips, bringing joy and calm to her groups.
Born in Venezuela, Jeremy has lived around the globe and worked as a public relations specialist, teacher, translator and guide before founding Iberian Adventures in the late 1990’s. An avid outdoor adventure enthusiast, he says “The 2 things I love the most about my job is researching a new route and showing our customers great spots that they’d never find on their own”. When he’s not answering emails or dreaming up new itineraries at the office, he can usually be found either scaling mountains with his climbing buddies or “harmonizing” with an opponent in the practice of the Japanese martial art of aikido.
