Immersive guides that go beyond just the tourist spots, connecting travelers to special experiences, local gems, cultural events, nature escapes, and must-try restaurants from NYC to across the USA and around the world.
As a born and raised New Yorker, we honor the city’s rich diversity, stories, gems, and outdoor escapes both within the city and Upstate, beyond the skyscrapers.
Exploring cuisine, history, and cultural heritage through storytelling. We amplify people’s stories, highlight flavors from NYC’s local foodie scene to multi-course dining experiences. Cultural insights include, books, film/TV, art, and events.
Encouraging people to connect with the outdoors and embrace a more active, fulfilling lifestyle, whether it’s a day hike in their “backyard” or a gorgeous getaway.
Beyond travel and exploration, we are also passionate about giving back. We actively support and amplify women, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and small business owners, as well as artists, authors, and cultural events that enrich our communities.
By sharing their stories and platforms, we aim to foster visibility, representation, and meaningful connections across industries and cultures.
I’m a first-generation New Yorker proudly born in Harlem and raised in the Bronx, with deep roots in my Caribbean heritage. In 2017, my passion for amplifying diverse stories in media and travel led me to create Dominican Abroad, a platform that has resonated with audiences worldwide, proving that there’s a strong demand for diverse and meaningful storytelling.
Though I proudly call NYC home, my journey has taken me to 57 countries, where I explore unique experiences, from food and nature to small towns and big cities.
Despite my autoimmune disease and chronic allergies, I actively manage these physical disabilities to still enjoy travel from boutique hotels to an R&R getaway in an accessible resort.
Today, I’m based in beautiful Brooklyn, where I continue to share stories, create engaging content, and inspire others to see the world through a more inclusive and mindful lens.
