It all started back in the Spring of 2012, when I moved to Berlin for my study abroad program. This was the first time I had traveled internationally by myself. From that moment I definitely caught that travel bug people talk about. During my master’s program I again had the opportunity to live and study in Angers, France. Here I met people that shared the same passion as I for the environment.

I have been traveling the world for almost 7 years and want to share everything with you!

In reality, I started traveling way before I was even conscious of it. I was born in Queens, NY and right away my mom felt a bit homesick. She had just moved there and missed her family and her home. We relocated to Miami soon after, as most of my father’s family lived there. I did not retain many memories from these years except for a drawing of a hurricane in roller skates (hurricane season apparently was pretty traumatizing) and a surplus of pictures with people I don’t quite remember. The Florida stint was short lived and soon enough my family was once moved but this time back to the homeland, back to Colombia.

The Journey

I traveled back and forth between Colombia and America and eventually I returned to the land of the American Dream and started calling New Jersey my home. In my college years, those big dreams of becoming a doctor quickly took a new shape. I traveled to Berlin for my study abroad program and I was hooked. The world was so big and I had been looking at it from the wrong angle. I started planning one trip then another, and then all of the sudden I found myself across continents, living and working in Shanghai. My dream became my business, the opportunity to make travel accessible to as many people as possible. Traveling on a budget and still being conscious and respectful about the environment around us can be done. We might be strangers now, but strangers are just friends that have yet to meet!
