REViEW: Hi, I'm Scott, from the great State of Maine! I hired Roy as a guide/translator for 2 weeks, in October, 2017. My goal was to travel solo, and get a full sensory experience of culture, in Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. My aim was not simply to view places, but to fully engage with the cultures. I wanted to live as a local, not as a tourist, visiting foreign lands.
Roy was perfect for this job! He knows the good places to go in about every city and town, knows people everywhere and, where he doesn't, he makes new and trustworthy connections quickly. He has a talent for that.
In addition, he accomodates custom requests. For instance, I wanted to cook in Costa Rica. Within 24 hours of my telling him that, I was making tamales with a family, in their backyard cusina. Yeah, Roy makes it happen, exactly the way you want it to. The guy was nothing short of amazing.
I've traveled a few continents, but this trip, with Roy as guide/translator/bodyguard (I had him take me a few places that I would never have visited alone), has been the most informative, engaging, and all around fun adventure I've ever had.
If you are seeking that ground level, up close and personal experience with the natives who live in the places you visit, Roy will guide you there. Check out his fb; I'm the old guy with the belly. Working with Roy was an excellent experience! I HIGHLY recommend!
