MEET THE STORYTELLER
John Carlos Milburn Rodríguez

Hola! I'm Carlos and I live in Vejer de la Frontera, Cádiz. I founded Explore la Tierra https://explorelatierra.com/en/! I studied an MSc in Environment and have worked in the environmental field for 5 years between Canada and UK. After working and travelling outside of Spain for several years, I realised how amazing it is that many of Spain’s resources, including pork, are sustainably harvested.

When I recognised that many friends and people who I met outside Spain knew little about the varied and wonderful products and places that Spain has to offer, so I realised that I needed to design culinary tours to change this and promote my varied culture and gastronomy. Thus, I decided to do something about it by creating Explore la Tierra in Vejer de la Frontera.
Being a wine lover I studied wine courses. I earned a Level 2 certificate with Distinction from the Wine & Spirits Education Trust(WSET), a globally recognised program. My partner and I adopted a dog and named him "Monti" for Amontillado, one of my favourite type of sherries! I am also first aid certified.

I love travelling and have traveled to around 25 countries and lived in 4 continents. This has given me the ability to get to know other cultures and what people want from a tour. My aim is to provide the best possible experience for those who want to immerse themselves in the local culture. By learning more about my culture, traditions and food in Spain, specifically Vejer de la Frontera, has to offer.
