Hi, I’m José Luis
I’ve lived in Dublin for 3 years
I speak English, Spanish
I am a Journalist
I left the tropical atmosphere of Guatemala City in 2015 to follow my dream of living in Ireland. Since then, I've immersed myself in Dublin City life. Here, I found the perfect balance between being a library mouse and my extreme passion of walking around town, taking pictures, admiring its ancient and new architecture, and discovering hidden gems, from a new café or bistro to a pub or restaurant with live music. I can show you to my favourite places to grab a craft beer or stout. My background as a History and Arts journalist helps me keep up to date with Dublin’s main circuit of art galleries and museums. What to do in Dublin if you just have a couple of days? Well, let me tell you there is more beyond than taking a selfie in Temple Bar or walking in the street with a souvenir bag from the most known local brands. I never come back home without a new picture because there is always something interesting to spot when you walk in Dublin's streets. My Instagram account is full of unique moments, peculiar things or places and eclectic street art.
