After completing his studies in computer engineering, Esteban worked as an analyst/programmer in his hometown in Spain. He earned a good salary, but every day was the same routine. Though his passion is to travel, he could only do it a few weeks a year.
He then decided to become a web developer freelancer, intending to earn a living while having a nomadic life. He dreamed of exploring the world!
In 2012, he prepared his luggage and started his Asian life.
That was a fantastic experience. His growth was exponential while living in Vietnam, Thailand, Nepal, and the Philippines.
Eventually, he felt a burning desire to communicate all his learnings to the world, to become a trainer and coach, and to transition from freelancer to entrepreneur.
Again, the gap was enormous and the learning curve daunting. But once again, he got there.
After starting his first business in Vietnam in 2015, he moved to the UK, where, in 2016, he created two companies in the Education sector: "Hola People" offers language, job, and travel opportunities and organizes events in Liverpool, and the QLU Project helps new entrepreneurs set their dream goals, boost their businesses, and achieve remarkable results while having a healthy and balanced life.
In 2021, he moved to Saudi Arabia, where he worked as an IT Consultant and IT Manager. Living in a Muslim culture was yet another fantastic experience.
After two years, he returned to his country, Spain, but he kept moving around and exploring the World, most recently Peru.
