Hello, Let’s Wander

Adventure has always been a part of who I am. Growing up in Southern California, I was surrounded by sunshine, beaches, and the vibrant traditions of my Mexican heritage—family gatherings that stretched late into the night, homemade meals made with love, and laughter that always seemed to fill the room. Those moments taught me early on about connection, culture, and the joy of slowing down to savor life with the people who matter most.

Some of my favorite memories are from our family trips to Mexico. I loved spending time with relatives in small towns, exploring wide-open ranches, and finding hidden coves that felt like secret treasures. Those trips were more than vacations—they opened my eyes to the world and sparked a lifelong love of travel.

That love has carried me through so many adventures, both near and far. From simple day trips along local trails and afternoons at the beach, to walking across ancient glaciers, bungee-jumping where it all began, and soaking in Costa Rica’s jungle hot springs—every journey has shaped me. Travel, for me, has never just been about where I go; it’s about how it connects me to people, places, and myself.

The name Wander Barefoot comes from one of my earliest travel memories. When I was seven, visiting family in Mexico, I met a girl my age who didn’t own shoes. I had just gotten a new pair on that trip, so I gave her my old ones. The joy on her face as she skipped down the street has never left me. That moment taught me about kindness, gratitude, and the way travel has the power to connect us beyond our differences. It’s the heart of why I do what I do.

Through Wander Barefoot, I help couples, families, and groups create intentional, effortless escapes to breathtaking places like Hawaii, Tahiti, Mexico, Costa Rica, and New Zealand. My goal is to take the stress out of planning while making sure every detail feels seamless and every moment unforgettable.

Because in the end, travel isn’t just about the destination—it’s about the stories you bring home. And I’d love to help you create yours.
