As a full time traveler, I have visited over 35 countries and lived in 5 to date. My interest in the travel industry led her to pursue two master’s degrees in the field: Tourism and Travel Journalism. In addition, I am the Founder of Latina Traveler, a platform created to inspire Women of Color to travel solo but safely and with confidence. I'm a freelance journalist with bylines in Fodor’s Travel and Hermosaz USA. As a public speaker, I have spoken at the Latino Travel Fest about my solo travels as a Latina. I'm currently based in Budapest, but have lived in New York, Lima, Buenos Aires, Paris, and Barcelona. I love connecting with my audience, so say hola whether online or IRL!
