Skyler Hayes

Skyler's journey began when he was deployed as an EMT during a humanitarian crisis and found himself struggling with the language barrier while treating patients. This sparked a passion for language learning that eventually led him to discover opera as both a linguistic and cultural education tool. Now based in São Paulo after following a job opportunity with an international medical response team, he bridges his medical expertise with cultural exploration, using his platform to show how understanding local arts and language improves both travel experiences and cross-cultural healthcare delivery.
