Overview
About Me
Born and raised in the heart of Mexico, Guadalajara. In 2016, I moved to the Mexican Caribbean and started hosting travelers on CS which opened my door to people from all walks of life, I made lasting friendships that inspired my own journey. I started exploring the world with my backpack a year later and connecting with locals became a highlight of my travels, I learned so much from their unique perspectives and knowledge.
Music inspired my first trips, attended big festivals and explored the nightlife around Europe and the US. I ended up spending 2 summers (2018 and 2019) in the island of Ibiza, which turned out to be more than just a party hotspot.
Outside of travel, I'm deeply interested in the science and traditions that promote well-being. From ancient wisdom to modern research on human biology, I'm always learning and exploring ways to optimize health. I train (weightlifting) almost everyday, love sauna/temazcal, different types of meditation and embodiment practices.
I definitely consider myself a people’s person, I enjoy learning about life through other’s experiences and views of life. I love storytelling, jokes and deep conversations.
Fun fact about me: I love raccoons! They have really soft paws and love grapes and marshmallows (chubby cuties).
I’m currently back in Guadalajara reconnecting with my family and embracing a slower pace of life, preparing for new adventures coming next.
