About me
About me
I'm currently studying film production at Centro de Capacitación Cinematográfica and English Literature at UNAM. I love riding my bike around my neighborhood (Narvarte) alongside Baphy (my dog) and watching movies at Cineteca Nacional. I love food and I love discovering new vegan spots in my city that offer things I never imagined I needed in my life–like pumpkin flower hot wings. I also like to walk around and admire the mid-twentieth century architecture around my neighborhood, wondering who might be living there now.
Why Mexico City
Mexico City is one of the biggest cities in the world. Thus, there is always something to do or try. Whether you go to a new restaurant, cultural event, party or concert, one can never get bored in Mexico City. One thing I personally love–and think many take for granted–is its weather. It is regularly mild, so you can walk around with just jeans and a t-shirt. Mexico City has been my home for more than 23 years and although I love discovering new places around the world, I know I will never find a place like it.

Pan D'Monium
A memorable food stand
"Pan d’monium" was one of my first approaches to vegan food; I'm pretty sure it's a sort of rite of passage for vegans in Mexico City. Try the Encarnación!

Akarma
Flower hot-wings
"Akarma" in Mexico City are special because they're the only ones to offer delicious vegan hot wings made of pumpkin flowers instead of e.g. cauliflower!
