Self portrait of Julien, a solo female travel blogger and creator of Cultures Traveled Travel Blog.

Hola! I’m Julien Casanova.

I’ve been living in Mexico for the last decade. I’ve explored the Yucatán inside and out. I fell hard for Mexico City. And I loved the 8 months I spent traveling in South America.

I created Cultures Traveled for people who’d rather wander through a local market than rush through a checklist of monuments. If you want to understand a place through its food, its history, and the way people actually live, you’re in the right spot.
