Jose Manuel Corona Vazquez is originally from Tlaxcala, México, and has been living in Jackson since 2014. When he first got here, he didn't really know any of the places around because he used to only work and come back home. That was his routine for every day until he found out about Coombs and he decided to sign up his kid for skiing. A year later Coombs organized a ski program for parents that he decided to join, and since then he has been part of Coombs Outdoors and really likes the experience. When Maggie asked him to join Camina Conmigo in 2023, he thought he was going to be part of the program to explore and follow others. But then Maggie asked him if he wanted to be a guide and show others. He took the opportunity, trained to be a guide, and has now been a guide for over 10 months and really loves the experience. Through his time with Camina Conmigo, he has learned to love exploring new places and showing other people how fun and exciting nature is! He still has a lot of places to explore, and really hopes he can keep on finding places that feel magical and sharing them with other people.
