Joel Centano

Joel Centano traveling in South Africa.

Joel Centano is a freelance writer, editor, photographer, and content strategist focusing on sustainable travel, social advancement, and philanthropy. In a past life, he worked as an in-house content creator at Virtuoso where he also served as the chief editor of Virtuoso Traveler magazine for 15 years. Favorite photo and writing assignments have taken him to Kenya and the Galápagos to cover wildlife conservation, Bali to explore how forward-thinking hotels help preserve the island’s cultural traditions, and Montana to take eco-focused naturalist classes with his family on a working guest ranch. When he’s not traveling or typing, you’ll find him looking up the word of the day, reading Louise Erdrich and Howard Frank Mosher novels, sipping Lagavulin (or Bruichladdich, or Barrell Bourbon), begging his knees to hold out for basketball and half-marathons, and convincing his kids to watch David Attenborough documentaries with him.
