MEET YOUR INSIDER
JOE GATTO
I love to travel, have visitors, and meet cool people from
around the world. My favorite travel destinations are tropical
ones with beautiful beaches, and mountains to hike around
in. To me there is nothing better than swimming in the ocean,
running on the beach, and eating fresh fish & fruit.
I also like to visit big cities. In the U.S., my favorite ones are New York & San Francisco.
I've been to Tokyo, Bangkok, Paris, Rome, and Rio de Janeiro. There are still a lot
more mega cities on the list, like Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires, Barcelona, Madrid, Milano,
Berlin, and Shanghai.
I grew up in Columbus, Ohio and moved to Miami after college. Living there made
me want to learn Spanish well. So I moved to Caracas, Venezuela in an exchange
program at Centro Venezolano Americano. I taught English & learned Spanish in the
school, and made many wonderful friends.

Joe's Reviews:
Then I worked as a journalist at The Daily Journal, the English language newspaper
of Venezuela. That was a great experience because I was the cultural reporter and
wrote about the arts, theater, music, and dance scenes in Caracas. I also got to meet
and interview most of the ambassadors stationed there, and write reports about
their countries, and the activities of their embassies in Venezuela. I ended up living
there for three years and having a fabulous time.
Then I moved to Maui to go to massage school and stayed five and a half years
having a good time. I worked as a massage therapist at a hotel on the beach and was
a DJ at night. I'm really into funky music from across the globe. I got to DJ for many
wonderful weddings in gorgeous Hawaiian settings. I also held down a great Friday
night party at Jacques' in Paia for four years. That was a blast, and I got to meet cool
music lovers from all over the world.
I'm now managing The Jungle House for my friend in Maui that owns it. My motto
is explore the world, follow what fascinates you, and invite others in to share what
you've learned.
I'm Joe Gatto, estoy a la orden...
