Lauren Yero's Home Page

I am a recent liberal arts graduate who travels as a compulsion. I have lived in several regions of the US as well as briefly abroad in England and Spain, and these changes in location have only made me more determined to travel to and write about the climes and currents of the world that remain foreign to me, and what I write tends to reflect my views on the importance of mindful travel as opposed to tourism. As my father is Cuban-born, Latin America is particularly high on my list of regions to explore and understand.
