Living in Cancun since 2010
Living in Cancun has given me a deep appreciation for this incredible region, and I’m passionate about sharing all the knowledge I’ve gathered over the years. Whether you’re planning to relax on the pristine beaches, explore ancient Mayan ruins, or dive into the refreshing cenotes, my goal is to help you experience the Yucatan Peninsula like a local.While working for an international travel wholesaler based in
Cancun, I used my free time to explore the beauty of this region, snorkeling, diving in the tourquise waters off of Cancun coastline, exploring all the beautiful cenotesand when I had more time, I would go on a road trip around the Yucatan Peninsula and enjoy its natural wonders, Mayan sites and try the delicious food.

My Story: How did I end up In Mexico?
My love for Mexico started back in 2003 during a backpacking trip through the Yucatan Peninsula and Chiapas. It was a different world then—less developed, more serene, and deeply magical. That initial journey ignited a connection that never faded, even as I traveled and worked in other beautiful places like Egypt, Seychelles, and Jamaica. In 2010, when an unexpected job offer brought me back to Cancun, I knew I had found my true home.
Over the years, my love for travel and exploration grew, leading me to create my first blog, Boundless Roads, where I aimed to inspire solo female travelers to embrace their own adventures. But my heart kept pulling me back to Mexico, which inspired me to create multiple sites to share my deeper connection with this land.
