Hi there, it’s Francesca and Jyl, welcome to This Human Tribe, a slow travel blog that celebrates the beauty of human connection and the magic of exploring new places. 

We believe that travel is about immersing ourselves in the culture, traditions, and stories of the people who call those places home. We seek to find why instead of what, because that is where our humanity lies, and with it, our best chance at understanding one another

Francesca Simoni Portrait

Francesca has spent her life surrounded by books, because stories are the essence of what makes us human.

She has a contagious smile and a laugh that carries to the moon and back, topped by genuine love and curiosity for people. She’s an excellent listener, she has an innate ability to tune in with each person while collecting precious details about their story.
Jyl Leblon portrait

Jyl is a nomadic at heart; from a very young age, he has been fascinated by the beauty of the world.

He traveled to numerous countries for short periods of time, soon becoming keenly aware of the fact that it takes time to truly feel a place, to get to know its people and to create a real connection with both, the land and the locals.
