Hazel Hawkins

After earning her engineering degree in Brazil, Hazel moved to Texas for a maintenance position at a major water treatment facility, where her technical skills and problem-solving abilities quickly made her indispensable despite initial language barriers. Her unique travel blog began as technical documentation of interesting infrastructure she encountered on weekend trips, but evolved into a passionate exploration of the intersection between engineering, marine conservation, and cultural preservation when she realized how her practical knowledge could help travelers understand the world's most fascinating structures while connecting them with authentic local experiences.
