Sam Brake Guia was born in Bristol, UK, in 1993 to a mixed
heritage family. His father, half Venezuelan and half British, grew
up in New York before moving to the UK, while his mother is fully
British. Despite his parents' separation at a young age, he
appreciates his supportive step-parents. He had a loving upbringing
in the UK countryside, which instilled in him a desire to explore
the world. After studying psychology at university, he decided
against pursuing further education in favor of traveling.
He briefly worked in technology sales but felt unfulfilled.
Inspired by his father's career as a flight attendant and their
shared love for travel, Sam decided to embark on a journey, selling
his possessions and buying a one-way ticket to the US.
Sam is an energetic and passionate writer/presenter, always looking
for the next adventure. In August 2016 he donated all of his
possessions to charity, quit his job, and left the UK. Since then
he has been on the road travelling through North, Central and South
America searching for new adventures and amazing stories.
