About Viajera en Tailandia
We create meeting places
Among travelers and local hosts who have deep ties to their community and who work to revitalize and care for it.
Traveling is a way for us to connect with places
Every decision we make as travelers—where we stay, with whom we share a meal, and whom we choose to share experiences with or buy souvenirs from—leaves a mark on the places we visit.
Sustainability was the first step.
Today we're talking about regeneration
At Viajera en Tailandia, sustainability has been a cornerstone and the first step in establishing our presence in the tourism industry. Today, we are exploring regeneration—an approach that goes beyond simply reducing negative impacts.
Through the lens of regeneration, we view tourism as the network of a living system, where the well-being of people, places, and ecosystems are deeply interconnected.We aim for every journey to foster connections that allow us to engage, create, and thrive together.
Hosts incorporate regeneration practices into at least one of the following areas:
A place that provides guidance
Every decision is based on what the place needs, offers, and can sustain.
Local community leader
The hosts and the local community take center stage and work together
Nature that restores
There is a direct link to the restoration of ecosystems and forms of life.
A culture that lives on
Cultural knowledge and expressions are preserved by the people who live there.
Experience as part of a living system
What happens here spreads and brings well-being to the system.
Meet Joha
Someone who explores other ways of traveling
Joha is the founder of Viajera en Tailandia, a consultant in regenerative tourism, a travel designer, and a sustainability auditor for hotels and tour operators.
He was born and raised in Colombia, but for over a decade he has lived in Southeast Asia, between Myanmar and Thailand, where he has become deeply immersed in the local society and culture and has developed close ties with local hosts, independent projects, and rural and artistic initiatives.
Through Viajera en Tailandia, Joha explores different places and brings to light stories, experiences, and ways of caring for these territories through tourism, viewed through the lens of regeneration.
Viajera en Tailandia was born out of that network and the strong belief that there are other ways to travel.
