Title: Mexican travel blogger
I’m currently working on: I promote lesser-known places in Mexico, aiming to connect with people and convey the emotions, flavors, and feelings these places evoke.
Always: I go with my glass empty so I can always be surprised, always ready to fill it with new experiences.
Never: I lose faith and trust.
Favorite quote: “Work with what you have. Start now, with the resources you have, to do what you dream or desire, without waiting for everything to align to overcome the fear of taking action.”
Biggest dream: to boost and improve the economy of tourist areas and artisan families.
My pet peeve(s): the joy, excitement, and wonder I get from enjoying what I do.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be: My friend Yubanely, but she’s no longer in this world.
I can’t leave my house without: brushing my teeth.
My worst fear: cockroaches and crocodiles. It’s challenging for me to swim because I always feel like there’s a crocodile wherever I have to swim.
Biggest career lesson: pay attention to the company you keep because people will judge who you are based on that.
