About me

Hey, I’m Yanitza!

I’ve spent nearly a decade exploring destinations most people skip over, and I’ve realized those are usually the best ones.

As a certified travel advisor, I help people plan trips that feel like actual adventures, not just itineraries. I also write detailed guides for travelers who want to do their own research and find places with real stories behind them.

Whether it’s historic gems, scenic landscapes or off-the-beaten-path destinations, I write about the kind of places that make you want to pull over, explore and actually learn something.

Looking for someone to plan your trip, or inspiration for your next adventure? Road trips, international travel or anything in between, you’re in the right place.

“The best stops are the ones
nobody told you about.”

My approach

Stories that make people
want to pull over

I work with tourism boards and brands that want the real story told. I show up, talk to the locals and show a place the way it actually feels, so the people following along end up wanting to see it for themselves.
