About Paula



Hola! I’m Paula—welcome to my little corner of the web! I’m a Guatemalan-born writer living in Florida with my two teens and two goldendoodles. I love sharing my love for travel, delicious recipes (especially Guatemalan ones!), and tips for connecting with culture.

From exploring my Guatemalan roots to discovering family-friendly adventures in Florida, this blog is all about celebrating food, travel, and life’s little joys—in both English and Spanish. I’m so happy you’re here!
