¡Hola! I’m Jen, a Los Angeles native, serial expat, travel writer, former Italy tour guide, and current Mexico resident. My superpower is crafting culturally-rich travel itineraries that help you get the most out of any destination — whether you’re short on time or have all the time in the world.

THE WORLD I ROAM is my travel and lifestyle publication that introduces discerning women and families to the best Mexico has to offer. I meticulously research and curate all of the detailed guides, travel itineraries and insider tips you’ll find on this site. It’s my mission to share my travel savvy and expat dish so you can design the most incredibly fun, stylish and unforgettable Mexico getaway ever.

Travel Beyond Tourism

Deep and enriching travel that goes beyond tourism is the mood around here – I call it traveling inspired. Expect insightful articles that cover everything you need to know about incredible Mexico destinations, stylish stays, plant-based cuisine, art & culture, architecture & design, bespoke shopping, the great outdoors, and the best places in Mexico to timeout for wellness and movement. 
The World I Roam shines a special spotlight on Mexico’s beautiful Yucatan Peninsula. Dappled with natural wonders and cultural treasures, from sublime beaches and lavish haciendas to remarkable biodiversity and majestic Mayan ruins, Southern Mexico beats a uniquely different drum than the rest of this colorful country. It’s a magical playground rich in culture, history, gastronomy, and adventure that deserves to top every Mexico traveler’s list.
For those of you dreaming of making the leap to becoming an expat, whether in Mexico or in another part of the world, I also share tips and inspo to nudge you closer to global citizenship. And, occasionally, The World I Roam swerves off-topic to bring you enlightening travel dispatches from destinations around the globe.
