Meet the creator of MxCity for the Girls, Gays & They’s
I design experiences for travelers who want more than cookie-cutter tours. Join me in discovering Mexico City’s hidden stories, vibrant culture, and queer history, all while supporting local communities, traveling ethically, and feeling safe and seen.
Our Story
I’m a feminist-queer traveler, activist, and the guide behind every experience. In 2022, after working as a tour guide for almost two years, I realized that typical tours rarely felt authentic or community-focused. Life took some turns, and during a break, I discovered what I truly loved about guiding: meeting new people, sharing stories, and creating meaningful experiences that benefit both visitors and locals, all with a side of mezcal.
I began with the idea of feminist-history tours. And being the huge history nerd I am, I researched spots and stories that would excite travelers. But I soon realized I couldn’t share feminist history without including queer history. I wanted to highlight the real heroes of Mexico beyond the mainstream, Eurocentric, heteronormative narratives (yes, I know, that’s a mouthful).
Most importantly, I wanted to create tours that support local communities, prioritize ethical tourism, and offer safe, inclusive spaces for everyone. MxCity for the Girls, Gays & They’s is about connecting visitors with Mexico City in a way that respects its people, culture, and history, while fostering friendships, learning, and empowering my girls, gays & they’s!
