I'm a Mexican-American living in Phoenix. It gives me great satisfaction to share about my people, culture and cuisine.

I've been to a few places across this beautiful diverse globe. I would love to see more, through my eyes and yours.

[We travel because it's there and I want to taste every bite of it. There are a million ways to eat, a million ways to dress and speak and view the world. "Our way" isn't the right way, but just one way. Different is exciting and wonderful and worth taking the time to understand. I want to taste and smell and experience the biggest possible world, because every bite of it, every taste and texture and flavor, is delicious.] revised text from 'Bread and Wine' by Shauna Niequist
