]]>Senior is the mastermind behind the Instagram and TikTok page Exploraddict, with a joint following of 50,000 people. She’s been dreaming about being a full-time traveler and living out of a suitcase for quite some time before leaving her 9-5 corporate life in New York City after 10 years to make it happen.
Senior explored 40 countries on her journey, but she finally felt like she had found what she was looking for once she arrived in Mexico.
“I came here for a one-month trip but then completely fell in love with everything about this incredible country and haven’t been able to get myself to leave… I focus on “slow travel” in order to deeply connect with the country, its people, and culture,” she explains on her website.
Senior spent most of her time in Oaxaca, but we’ve seen her explore pretty much every corner of Mexico. She learned so much about this country during her journey that she’s now helping other people plan their perfect Mexican adventure.

]]>No one can deny the effects of climate change. Record high temperatures have been felt around the world, and there has been an increase in natural disasters. Sadly, it is only likely to get worse.
Travel accounts for 8% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, yet the sought-after landmarks on our bucket lists may not be what we know them as by 2050, if not sooner.
Researchers at the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) have predicted that the Moai statues could be lost at sea, while acid rain could damage the marble of the Acropolis in Athens.
To convey how real of a threat this is, Al Gore, who won a Nobel Peace Prize for his climate change activism, used artificial intelligence to illustrate what would happen to beloved landmarks. The result is not pretty.
Roads in California will be on fire, the Pyramids will be destroyed by acid rain, Central Park will be flooded, as will most of London.
The consequences are scary, which is why taking action against global warming is urgent.
