My name is Lukene and I am a full-time traveler from Mexico. My experience as a traveler started from a young age as I moved around a lot with my family. Since then I have devotedly created a lifestyle where I can travel full-time and I have this goal that every year of my life, I have to make it to a new country. I believe traveling is more than ticking off boxes. It should be an adventure to feed your soul, expand your worldview, and challenge you. Adventuring the world comes with a responsibility and that is why I am an advocate for traveling in a sustainable and ethical way. Many of these are so doable on a budget and if you are ready to embark on off-the-beaten path journeys, I am here to gladly help!
