Her name is Bianca.
She is a woman, Mexican, a traveller, an ally, a dreamer, a creative, 100% human and so much more.
Bianca started Mexico4realjourneys with +20 years of experience in personal travel throughout 3 continents, and many many countries, cities, towns, and communities. She also comes with 19 years of experience with customer service in the hospitality and tourism industries.
An amateur writer, art lover, yoga practitioner (and teacher in training!), entrepreneur, neophyte researcher, and knowledge obsessed, Bianca is a firm believer in supporting and creating a better future for all.
What does she do? She creates full immersion guided tours so you can connect and experience the REAL Mexico.
Why? Well that’s easy – simply because she is in love with it all.
Here’s her story.
One day, 14 thousand km away from her home country of Mexico, after an amazing day exploring rural communities by motorcycle in Vietnam, Bianca found herself facing the rice fields of a small farm, and there, she finally started seeing her own country.
She sat and wondered. Why am I not living these experiences in Mexico? Why am I not sharing them? Mexico is so rich!
And so, she started her journey home, that led her here today.
During that journey, just at the very start, many things happened that inspired her , and this ancedote is what showed her the mission:
Her mother began renting a room on Airbnb and sometimes Bianca would help her out. During this time she noticed some of the changes in Blanca, her mother’s name.
Biancas mother had travelled a bit but not so much to see the world or explore different cultures, so she tended to be a more ‘traditional’ woman; a little close minded, a little shy. It was after a few months of meeting and connecting with travelers from all over the world that it was evident: Her mom was a different woman! Not better, just different. She was learning, she was growing, she was having the time of her life!
Bianca remembers the day that her mother told her: ” I don’t have to take a plane to travel. I am traveling here, in my own home, and I am doing everything that I love to do; taking care of people”.
That was when Bianca realized that travel is a personal growth tool, and not only for the traveler but for the host as well.
But the question that came to her was: How can Mexican’s benefit better with the tourism that comes to us?
Bianca is still working on the full answer to that question, but she does know that the current travel industry mindset has not done right for all the Mexican people and it is time to change.
Bianca knows her WHY for Mexico4realjourneys – travel needs to be better and it has to be better for all of us. We want to invite you to learn, reflect, grow and experience a vibrant Mexico together.
Welcome to our mission, we are so glad you are here!
