About Me

My boyfriend, Raul, and I are biking from Santa Cruz, Bolivia down to Patagonia through Chile during August 2025 through February 2026.

I am from the United States and he is from Mexico. We met volunteering at an animal sanctuary in Bolivia in 2024, and have been planning this adventure ever since.

I used to be an engineer, and he is a photographer and filmmaker. Check out his documentary about the sanctuary where we volunteered and worked here:

We are planning to make this journey into a documentary as well!

This is my first bike packing trip. Raul biked from Mexico to Bolivia in 2024, so he is our expert.

We speak English and Spanish.

Mi novio, Raúl, y yo iremos en bicicleta desde Santa Cruz, Bolivia, hasta la Patagonia, pasando por Chile, entre agosto de 2025 y febrero de 2026.

Soy de Estados Unidos y él de México. Nos conocimos haciendo voluntariado en un santuario de animales en Bolivia en 2024 y desde entonces hemos estado planeando esta aventura.

Yo era ingeniera y él es fotógrafo y cineasta. No te pierdas su documental sobre el santuario donde hicimos voluntariado y trabajamos aquí:

¡También estamos planeando convertir este viaje en un documental!

Este es mi primer viaje de bikepacking. Raúl hizo en bicicleta de México a Bolivia en 2024, así que es nuestro experto.

Hablamos inglés y español.

What I Can Share with Hosts

As Raul is a photographer, designer, and filmmaker, he is able to help you with create projects or advertising needs you may have!

I'm pretty good with spreadsheets, but people don't need that as often :)

Como Raúl es fotógrafo, diseñador y cineasta, ¡puede ayudarte a crear proyectos o cubrir tus necesidades publicitarias!

Soy bastante bueno con las hojas de cálculo, pero la gente no las necesita tan a menudo :)
