Hey, I’m Janine!

In 2010, a study abroad program in Xalapa, Veracruz, convinced me that Mexico was where I belonged. In 2017, I packed my bags and moved to Mexico to try living there as an extranjera.

If you’re a female traveler who is curious about immersive travel experiences in Mexico, you’re in the right place!

On this site, you’ll find insider tips for safe Mexico travel, compelling itineraries detailing all the most interesting activities (on and off the beaten path), and plenty of destination inspiration. There’s far more to Mexico than resorts (they’re cool, too, though), and you’ll learn all about it here.

I believe solo travel can be a transformative experience, but I think it’s important that even in our quest for introspection and self-actualization, we don’t forget to think about how we impact the destinations we visit. That’s why you’ll notice me reference responsible travel throughout this blog.

Following a responsible travel framework helps you think through and mitigate the social, economic, and environmental impact of your travel in the destination you visit.
