About
Mexico City native, based in Texas. Spontaneous and carefree. Love going off-the-beaten-path and going on journeys that take me out of my comfort zone. Obsessed with Japanese style rooms.
Home airports
Good Ole' Austin-Bergstrom International.
My travel style
My travel style is all about personal fulfillment. It goes beyond just taking a picture for Instagram or Facebook. I'll help you achieve the level of self-actualization that you are seeking. Whether through solo travel or with a partner! Sitting in a tatami room enjoying a cold glass of nigori sake in a masu cup with a window open overlooking a flowing scenic river nestled deep in the mountains – that's where you'll find me.

One thing I can't travel without...
My phone – it is the best resource of information on-the-go. It does it all!
Two truths, one lie:
I smashed my face in a tree while blindfolded walking.
I almost died of dehydration in Phoenix.
My French is amazing.
