Hey, I'm Luis
Language Enthusiast. Digital Nomad. Blogger.
My Journey
I grew up in the beautiful region of Galicia, Spain, surrounded by green landscapes, ancient Celtic heritage, and a language that taught me early on that the world is more diverse than it first appears. I guess that’s where my fascination with different places, languages, and ways of life began.
It took me to the US for a high school year, and later to France and Poland, through studies, exchanges, and eventually a move for work. Three countries, three ways of seeing the same ideas. Somewhere along the way, visiting new places turned into a habit I never grew out of. I'm currently at 49 countries and counting, and still keeping the list open.
After studying software engineering and diving into the world of QA (Quality Assurance), I discovered that I genuinely care about getting things right. I’m naturally drawn to the details others might overlook, always looking for something that could be improved, refined, or fixed. For me, QA is about more than finding bugs. It’s about caring deeply about quality and constantly pushing things closer to being the best they can be.
But I wanted more than just a desk job. So I became a digital nomad, working remotely while exploring the world, learning new languages, and experiencing different cultures firsthand.
Why Wanderlinguist?
I created this blog to document my journey and share what I've learned along the way. Whether you're a fellow digital nomad, a language learner, a QA professional, or just someone curious about life abroad, I hope you'll find something valuable here.
This is a space for authentic stories, practical advice, and honest reflections on the challenges and joys of living a location-independent life while continuously learning and growing, mistakes, small wins and all.
What's Next?
I'm just following curiosity wherever it leads.
I've just come back from a three-month adventure across Asia, and I'm slowly turning that experience into stories worth sharing. The kind that might make you rethink your next trip.
Right now my own language learning is focused on Polish and Mandarin, two languages that humble me on a near-daily basis. That struggle is actually turning into something: I'm building a tool to help learners like me stay on track. More on that soon.
For now, the plan is simple: explore more places (especially across Eastern Europe and Asia), keep improving my Polish and Mandarin, and stay open to whatever language decides to find me next.
This space is where it all comes together: the places, the people, the words. No strict roadmap, just curiosity leading the way.
