Flavia | Latina Traveler

A first generation Peruvian American, I'm a travel blogger, digital creator, freelance writer, and Founder of Latina Traveler. 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!

Hola Reader! Allergy season has started here in Lisbon so if you see me out and about on the Instagram streets then just know I’m most likely sneezing away and scratching my eyes out cause of how itchy they get during this time of the year.

Hola Reader! This week I had an unexpected reality check hit me. I've now been in Lisbon for two weeks and the city is still really new to me. It hit me that the first time I ever visited was only a year and a half ago and it was because I knew I wanted to stay in Europe that I'd have to move here. So when I visited back in September of 2022, I visited knowing the purpose of my trip was unlike any other I had done before. With Barcelona I knew before going that eventually I wanted to live...

Hola Reader! Living by yourself is not so bad. Now that it's been a bit over a week, I'm not sure why I thought it would be a bigger shock. It is just quieter at times, but I fill the space with a show or music. Overall my adjustment has been much smoother than I originally thought it would be. Now that this will be my future home, I'll be exploring my new city and trying out coffee shops and other must dos for when you decide to visit! Stay tuned to the blog for more. ✈️ Let's ADVENTURE...
