Monica, Omar & Carlos

Born and raised in Mexico City, married couple Monica and Omar are passionate adventure enthusiasts dedicated to sharing the beauty of Mexico through a boutique travel agency that connects travelers with the country’s rich culture, food, and art—a deep passion that ultimately led them to tie the knot in Oaxaca, a city closest to their hearts, while now residing in Austin, TX.

Carlos, originally from Oaxaca, returned home after studying and traveling around the world to share his heritage; as co-director of the Instituto Cultural Oaxaca and founder of Fundación En Vía, an organization empowering local women through microfinance, education, and responsible tourism, he brings deep local expertise to complete their team. Living now in Tokyo, he also holds an extensive knowledge of Japanese culture and its language.

Born and raised in Mexico City, Otoniel brings a genuine, authentic local perspective to the team as Omar’s brother. While it’s not his full-time career, his love for good food, travel, and the vibrant energy of his hometown inspired him to join this boutique travel agency to share the real Mexico with visitors. Having lived here his whole life and traveled throughout the country, he has experienced firsthand the beauty, flavors, and warmth that make Mexico so special. Friendly, welcoming, and deeply passionate about his roots, Otoniel loves connecting with travelers and giving them an insider’s look into everyday life in Mexico City, making you feel right at home from the moment the tour begins.
