Meet Adriana
Coming from a small island in the Caribbean, I knew that one day I wanted to see what else the world has to offer. As a kid, I would watch documentaries on the History Channel about other cultures, which fostered my interest in exploring the unknown. At the mere age of 8, I embarked on my first international trip with my parents and it completely changed my life.
​
In 2017, Hurricane Maria destroyed Puerto Rico and I ended up finishing my senior year of high school in Florida. I got a scholarship to study in North Carolina where I got my degree in International Relations and Political Science in hopes of getting a better understanding of other cultures. I obtained another scholarship to study abroad in Germany and I loved it. Being exposed to people from different backgrounds as mine made me even more determined to travel.
After graduating in 2022, I decided to take a gap year and after working three jobs, I embarked on my first solo backpacking trip. In six months, I traveled to 7 countries - Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan. The thrill of solo traveling and exploring new places was unlike anything I’d ever experienced. What started as a mere break from studies and work has now become my biggest passion.
​
Adri Travels the World began as a way to share my passion for traveling and exploring the unknown. After finishing my backpacking trip, I grew eager to share my knowledge and all of the places that I’d been to with others.
While traveling, I barely encountered other women of color. I hope to inspire other women of color, especially Latinas, to break free of the mold placed by society and explore the world. I hope that Adri Travels the World serves as an inspiration and can help guide you when planning your next big adventure.

Sending you lots of love, Adriana :)
