I am excited to announce yet another new blog contributor. Monica Hernandez identifies as a Chicana “ni de aquí, ni de allá” mujer born and raised in Southern California. Born with an adventurous soul and a hunger for knowledge, she moved to New York City to pursue a teaching career. In 2015, she set a goal to dust her passport and travel the world, one country at a time. Since then, she has traveled to 10 countries and is passionate about learning new cultures and the way other people live.

Su cultural mexicana, passion for feminism, and dream of liberating women of color, gave birth to her blog www.monisandiego.com. You can read her thoughts and tales there about traveling and follow her love for life on her instagram @monimonmon_ 

Feel free to read her first Travel Latina post about her trip to Thailand.
