About Me

I love traveling and meeting new people. I studied Hospitality and Tourism both in Peru and USA. For 5 years, I've been working as a travel consultant specialized in South America. Consumed by wanderlust, foodie, red wine/chocolate lover, and loves dancing latin music (salsa, bachata, merengue, samba, axe).

Took a 13-month sabbatical time to explore Southeast Asia and China where I'd love to come back within the next few years.
Traveled so far to over 20 countries and almost 100 cities.

Here are links to a couple of blogs about two of my favorite destinations:
