About the host
Hosted by Joe Amaral
I enjoy traveling, when I can off the beaten path. History lover so many of my trips revolve around exploring the significance of the area. My other great travel pull is around my love of the water, tropical spots near the water are always high on the agenda. I am a Navy vet so I have been to many countries during my time in service.
