I'm here to dish out all the delightful details to the inquisitive travelers who venture our way.

Back in my university days, art history swept me off my feet. That's what sparked my journey into unraveling the secrets behind the world's most pivotal artistic movements and iconic figures, both on a global scale and right here in Mexico.

Fast forward to 2016, the year I took my first steps into the enchanting world of museums as a weekend guide. It was an eye-opener: I discovered my love for connecting with people and sharing the riches of our Mexican heritage!

In 2019, I proudly earned my first tourist guide license, and ever since, I've been teaming up with various tour companies to unveil the sheer awesomeness and unparalleled uniqueness of Mexico, including its warm-hearted inhabitants and tasty gastronomy.

Beyond my historical escapades, you'll often find me nose-deep in captivating books, jet-setting to far-flung destinations, immersing myself in the artistry housed within museums, mastering new languages, expressing my creativity through drawing, and savoring quality time with my cherished friends. I'm a genuine people person and love connecting with folks from all corners of the world!

Now, let's talk about my love affair with Mexico City! It's an ever-evolving playground of captivating and enjoyable experiences, thanks to its boundless diversity and ceaseless liveliness. The magnetic atmosphere keeps me perpetually inspired, and I'm on a perpetual quest to uncover fresh and unconventional gems with every outing.

In recent years, I’ve embraced the adventure of solo travel across Mexico, uncovering its hidden treasures and connecting deeply with its vibrant cultures. This heartfelt journey has not only enriched my understanding but also deepened my love for the beautiful country that is my home.

In a nutshell, I consider myself a friendly, perpetually enthusiastic, and wonderfully empathetic individual who always seeks the silver lining in every twist and turn of life's grand adventure.
