Madison Rowland-Davis is an artist at heart from Baltimore, MD. She has been working in restaurants since she was 14 years old, but needed a change of scenery, so she decided to drop everything and travel after being inspired by travel bloggers like Jim and May.

When she is not studying Spanish or Portuguese, or dreaming of future travels, she enjoys cooking for her friends and family, doing yoga, and writing bad poetry.

Ana Chávez Arana / Writer, Teacher, Guide

Growing up in the suburbs of Mexico City, my favorite day of the week were Sundays, when my family and I would get in the car, travel for one hour and arrive to Centro Histórico, the Old City. There we would go to theaters, museums, and restaurants that opened up a new world to me. As a History student at university my enthusiasm for the city was such that I started giving tours.

After some years of helping travelers acquaint themselves with Mexican culture, I decided to take this role further and train as a Spanish teacher. Whether touring or teaching, I see my job as as a way to guide people into my culture, which I am so passionate about.
