Rachel Stone

Rachel's passion for travel bloomed during her childhood in Hialeah's vibrant Cuban-American community, where she learned to appreciate handcrafted traditions from her grandmother, a skilled seamstress. After studying hospitality management and taking a job as a cruise director, she began documenting the contrast between tourist hotspots and authentic local experiences, particularly focusing on rooftop venues that offered unique perspectives of port cities and workshops where traditional crafts were being preserved. Her blog started as a resource for her cruise passengers but evolved into a respected platform highlighting the intersection of urban exploration and cultural preservation.
