Now We Explore…

Travel | Food | History


Now We Explore is my home base for cultural interpretation using travel as my medium. Combining both real-world and academic experiences, I bring a unique narrative, something that is more than your everyday influencer. I add depth, cultural knowledge, and hands-on experiences while weaving a compelling narrative.

Basically, I explain why things matter.

I’ve traveled to over 30 countries across 5 continents, trying local food from Mexico City to Bangkok, visiting sites from Angkor Wat to the Pyramids of Giza, and meeting locals from Istanbul to Avignon.

I’m the former Managing Editor for Yellow Scene Magazine, where I managed a team that covered everything local, from food to politics. Our team consistently outpaced our competitors in awards and ingenuity. In the last few years, I’ve had over 100 articles published.

Finally, I hold a BA in both Anthropology and Political Science from San Diego State University. This allows me to analyze things from an academic and structural perspective, connecting systems, people, and place.
