**LET'S TALK PROTESTS IN MEXICO CITY!!!!!**
If you’re following my channel, you know I’m currently sharing a Mexico City travel series. You may have seen the recent headlines about protests against gentrification and mass tourism in some neighborhoods like Roma and Condesa. As someone born and raised in NYC, I deeply understand loving your city and wanting to protect it after watching it change in ways that don’t always feel best or fair.
During my time in CDMX, I was met with generosity and warmth from locals. But I also recognize that there are very real frustrations around rising rents, displacement, and cultural erasure. These aren’t simple issues, and I won’t pretend to have any answers, BUT I do believe travel can be both joyful and responsible.
So if you’re watching my videos and planning your own trip to Mexico City, I encourage you to:
✨ Support locals intentionally – Go to markets, family-run cafés and hotels and buy from local artisans
✨ If possible, travel slow and visit places not on your timeline
✨ Learn some Spanish phrases

There’s space for respect on all sides. I love Mexico City and believe it’s possible to explore it in a way that uplifts the culture and not just consume it.
My last few videos will continue sharing beautiful parts of the city and I hope they inspire thoughtful travel and show respect and love for Mexico City and its people.
Happy Travels!

Si has estado siguiendo mi canal, sabes que actualmente estoy compartiendo una serie de viajes por la Ciudad de México. Tal vez ya viste los titulares recientes sobre las protestas contra el turismo masivo y la gentrificación en algunos barrios como Roma y Condesa. Como alguien nacida y criada en Nueva York, entiendo profundamente la tensión entre amar tu ciudad y verla cambiar de formas que no siempre se sienten justas o correctas.
Durante mi tiempo en CDMX, me encontré con generosidad y calidez por parte de la gente local. Pero también reconozco que hay frustraciones reales relacionadas con el aumento de rentas, el desplazamiento y la pérdida cultural. No son temas simples, y no pretendo tener las respuestas, pero sí creo que viajar puede ser algo alegre y también responsable.
Así que si estás viendo mis videos y planeando tu propio viaje, te animo a:
✨ Apoyar a los negocios locales de forma intencional – visita mercados, cafeterías familiares y artesanos locales
✨ Mantenerte con curiosidad y humildad
✨ Aprender algunas frases en español
Hay espacio para el respeto de todos los lados. Amo la Ciudad de México, y creo que es posible explorarla de una forma que valore y enaltezca su cultura, no que solo la consuma.
Mis últimos videos continuarán mostrando partes hermosas de la ciudad más allá del camino típico—y espero que inspiren un viaje consciente y lleno de respeto y amor por la Ciudad de México y su gente.
Con cariño!

Y'all... I'm not superstitious at all but when it comes to this YouTube algo, I get spooked! My last video is doing pretty well (for my humble 'lil channel) so I didn't want a new video to compete... Is that even a thing? Anyways, thanks sooooo much for watching! New video dropping this weekend. Help me pick a thumbnail?
