Hola! I’m Caren, a travel creator & influencer originally from Los Angeles, now based in Denver, CO.
I am a proud daughter of Mexican immigrants. I spent the majority of my childhood traveling to Mexico. My fondest memories were spent on my family’s farms playing with animals and eating what foodies call ‘farm to table’.
Early on I knew there was something different about how I viewed my identity growing up as a Latina in the US. There is a saying that many children of immigrants can relate to, “I am not from here, and I’m not from there”. I wasn’t quite enough of ‘this’ or ‘that’. I was not only bilingual but bicultural. Maybe you can relate to this as well.
In 2011, I traveled to Barcelona, Spain, a culture very different from mine. That trip changed my life. It was the first time I’d left home, alone. Fast forward to today, I’ve made my way across the globe from bustling metropolises, quaint villages, and lush jungles… to exploring local gems in my city.
I hope to inspire other women to travel. Not for the likes on social media but for their personal growth, soulful connections, and joy.
I share vlogs, destinations, and personal travel stories on my Instagram and TikTok. I’ve had the opportunity to work with various global and national travel & lifestyle brands.
I’ve been featured on Fierce by Mitu, Buzzfeed, Travel Latina, and Shoutout Colorado, and more.
