About me

My name is Jenny and I am an American travel writer and advisor based in Mexico City. I immigrated to Mexico in early 2021 after living and working in New York City for more than a decade. I specialize in writing about and helping others plan travel around the world, but specifically to Mexico, Latin America and the Caribbean. I have also worked professionally as a magazine photo editor, social media marketer, city tour guide, and even a dating coach and matchmaker. (Yes, I can help you find love.) While I love to globetrot and visit different destinations as often as I can, I am passionate about promoting travel to and within my adopted country of Mexico. I am an advanced open water scuba diver and an amateur—but enthusiastic!—equestrian and downhill skier. I am considered one of the foremost experts in pet-friendly travel in the United States, and have traveled extensively with my pet cat, Rajah. I look forward to meeting you and would be honored to have you join one of my trips. ¡Vamos a explorar!

Professionally: I started my career in the New York City magazine industry, working at publications such as Cosmopolitan, ELLE and Condé Nast Traveler. I entered the world of tourism and hospitality in 2014 as a writer for the trade newspaper, Travel Weekly, and have gone on to publish travel articles in a variety of outlets, including Travel + Leisure, Thrillist and VICE. I am also an experienced photo editor and social media marketer, having had several domestic and international hotel brands, tour operators and real estate companies as clients. I am a graduate of Hofstra University and hold degrees in print journalism, global studies, English and religion. Personally: I had a fulfilling life for many years in Brooklyn, New York. I traveled often, and in my free time would take tourists from around the world on sightseeing, history, food and craft beer walking tours of Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan, for which I was awarded an honor from the City of New York. Though I grew up outside of the city, I came of age in NYC and consider Brooklyn my hometown.
Professionally: I continue to write about travel, and since my move to Mexico, have started working as a travel advisor, as well. I love helping people plan the vacation of their dreams, and am taking this calling a step further by now hosting trips of my own. Personally: I live in downtown Mexico City and am now largely regarded as a local expert, and have even been nicknamed the "Cancún Queen" in my professional circles due to the amount of time I spend in the Mexican Caribbean.
Airline: Aeroméxico Book: The Great Gatsby Country: 3-way tie between Mexico, Spain and Israel Dessert: Key lime pie Escape: I love jetting off to the beach or back home to visit loved ones in NYC Friend: People who understand my calling to travel. Maybe you! Gift: A letter I received from my grandmother after her passing, which said she loved and was proud of me
I am never not traveling.
