Kyle Ruiz

Kyle's unique perspective emerged from his childhood in New Zealand where his Māori mother and Mexican-American father taught him to value both cultural heritage and scientific curiosity. After studying sustainable urban development in college, he took a bus driving job in Laredo to save money while building his content creation skills, but found unexpected inspiration in the transit networks connecting communities. His viral video series comparing farmers markets across continents launched his travel blogging career, though he still drives buses part-time to stay connected to the everyday transportation experiences that fascinate him.
