Edwin transitioned from career in supply chain and logistics to embark on a two-year backpacking journey around the world, eventually joining Backroads as a Trip Leader in 2023. Since then, he’s led unforgettable adventures across Europe, the USA and Latin America—none more impactful than in Ecuador. From the awe-inspiring flight of Andean condors to the astonishing wildlife of the Galápagos, this region never stops delivering magic. But for Edwin, it’s the deep connections with our incredible local partners—now dear friends—who bring each journey to life with their warmth, music and the vibrant spirit of the Andes and the Galápagos Archipelago.
