👋About Us
We're Juliana and Martín! She’s from the USA, he’s from Mexico. We’re here to help you travel deeper and escape your comfort zone.

Think the travel world’s only split into hardcore backpackers and tick-the-box tourists? We call nonsense. You’re out to see a destination’s must see spots, but also to sneak off the tourist path to find the spots that only locals go. You’re chasing experiences with value, and we’ve got you. When you travel with us, it’s no fluff, just the good stuff—because your vacation deserves more than just scratching the surface.
