I am from Colombia. I moved to Canada 13 years ago with my family (my husband, our two boys, and our dog). Since I was little, I was always worried about the inequalities that I was witnessing every day and the damage that we were causing to our environment. I studied anthropology, became interested in tourism, and began to study it from a sociocultural perspective. Since then, my interest in tourism, seen as an agent of transformation, captured my attention and I immersed myself in the study and practice of sustainable and regenerative tourism.
