Flavia | Latina Traveler

A first generation Peruvian American, I'm a travel blogger, digital creator, freelance writer, and Founder of Latina Traveler. As a full time traveler, I have visited over 35 countries and lived in 5 to date. My interest in the travel industry led her to pursue two master’s degrees in the field: Tourism and Travel Journalism. In addition, I am the Founder of Latina Traveler, a platform created to inspire Women of Color to travel solo but safely and with confidence. I'm a freelance journalist with bylines in Fodor’s Travel and Hermosaz USA. As a public speaker, I have spoken at the Latino Travel Fest about my solo travels as a Latina. I'm currently based in Budapest, but have lived in New York, Lima, Buenos Aires, Paris, and Barcelona. I love connecting with my audience, so say hola whether online or IRL!

Hola Reader! It's been nice being back in Lisbon especially now that the weather is getting better. For the month of May, many parks around the city are hosting 'Jardins Abertos' (open gardens) especially ones that are rarely open to the public. Some are open but cost a fee, but for the days they're open for this event they are free. I'm looking to start a separate list to share Lisbon related activities so let me know if you live in the city and/or plan to visit and want the tips. Do you...

Hola Reader! My month long trip around Peru and Ecuador is coming to an end and I'm getting ready to head back to Portugal. This morning I woke up to news that power is currently out in Portugal, Spain, and parts of France and Germany. Apparently it's supposed to last a while so I'm hoping my flight doesn't get interrupted and I'm able to get home safely. * If you make a purchase through any affiliate links below, I may make a small commission at no additional cost to you.

Hola Reader! I'm currently traveling around country 42nd, Ecuador, with my parents! I love that even though I live so far away, I can still enjoy exploring new places with the ones who made me fall in love with travel in the first place. This was supposed to be a solo trip, but glad to be able to spend time together especially since I now live far away. * If you make a purchase through any affiliate links below, I may make a small commission at no additional cost to you.

Hola Reader! The sun is finally coming out in Lisbon and I'm glad to get some nice days before I head to Peru. In addition to the group trips I host, this time I'll be leading two trips for an amiga who also hosts trips! Grateful to be able to lead trips in my parent's home country again and next year it'll be a trip I put together! * If you make a purchase through any affiliate links below, I may make a small commission at no additional cost to you.

Hola Reader! Still not over my Brazil experience! Still looking over photos and videos to create content to share with you over on Instagram. The rain in Lisbon has me inside a lot but also exploring parts of the city I don't normally get to do when it's sunny and I want to be outside. Stay tuned for posts and info on how to spend rainy days in Lisbon.

Hola Reader! Just got back from Brazil and OMG what an experience!! I highly recommend going during Carnival if you get the chance because it really is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I've been sharing daily vlogs over on YouTube. The WiFi wasn't the strongest so I'm continuing to post them now even though I'm back. You can watch a new day at 4:30pm EST for the next 10 days! * If you make a purchase through any affiliate links below, I may make a small commission at no additional cost to...

Hola Reader! This past week has been AMAZING going around Brazil as part of the group trip I've been hosting! We spent a couple days on an island and the last few in Rio de Janeiro doing lots of sightseeing and Carnival activities. Being able to create this once in a lifetime experience has been so rewarding and I'm forever grateful to the ladies who have joined me. Because the group trip is going on this email won't be packed with as many goodies as usual, but next week we'll be back to...
