Mikel Mateos

De Mochilas [EN] is a travel podcast about people, place, and perspective. Told from the road, one backpack at a time. I’m Mikel, and in each episode we explore cities and hidden corners of the world to understand the cultures that shape them: everyday conversations, local traditions, food, history, language, and the small human moments you only catch when you slow down and listen. Expect immersive soundscapes, street interviews, reflective storytelling, and practical context (without turning into a guidebook). If you love meaningful travel, learning through real encounters, and seeing the world with curiosity and respect — you’re in the right place. 🎒 The De Mochilas ecosystem De Mochilas [EN] (English edition) -> translated & adapted from the original Spanish showDe Mochilas [ES] -> the main feed and original storytelling voiceRaíces y Rutas / Roots & Routes -> deeper cultural and historical context through interviews and researchCaminos / Pathways -> conversations to understand people, perspectives, and identity across placesNo Estamos Listos / We are not ready -> candid moments, challenges, and behind-the-scenes from the road + creator life🎧 New episodes: weekly 🌍 Original show in Spanish.

    California -> San Diego: chaos, travel, and brotherhood

    In this episode of DeMochilas, I travel to California, San Diego in a trip shaped by decisions, unexpected delays, and meaningful moments. What started as a choice between attending an event in Brazil or celebrating my brother’s birthday turned into a journey full of lessons. From the chaotic experience of getting to AIFA to long waits along the way, everything tested my patience before even arriving. Once in San Diego, the focus shifted completely: family, reconnection, and experiencing the city from a different perspective. We visited places like Seaport Village, Sunset Cliffs, and the San Diego Zoo, combining long walks, incredible views, and simple but meaningful moments. I also reflect on traveling with family, adapting to unexpected situations, and appreciating small moments. This episode is about decisions, patience, and connection. Not every trip goes as planned, but sometimes it becomes exactly what you needed. 🔗 Follow me and join the community: 🌐 Web: mikel.world 📺 YouTube: @MikelMateosC 💬 Discord: Join the community 🎒 Fluxer: Join the community 🐦 X: @MikelMateosC 📸 Instagram: @mikel.mateos 🎵 TikTok: @mikelmateos 🎮 Twitch: @MikelMateos
