Hi I’m Carlene

My bio is a simple love story – one between a wandering soul and the vibrant heart of Mexico. As an American expat, I left the U.S. for Mexico City, where I unexpectedly found my true calling.

What began as an adventure transformed into a deep, abiding passion for all things Mexican. Today, I channel this love into my work as a writer, video content creator, and have even begun dabbling in tourism. My articles paint vivid portraits of Mexico's hidden gems and my new life as an immigrant, while my relatively new YouTube channel offers viewers an intimate glimpse into the country's rich culture and breathtaking landscapes through walking video tours.

I invite others to experience the Mexico I fell for—a land of warm people, rich traditions, and endless discovery. My story is one of cultural bridge-building, ethical immersion, and showcasing how embracing a new home can lead to a life filled with purpose and passion.
