Robert Rodriguez

Robert developed his dual passions while growing up in Tucson, where the dark desert skies fostered his love for astronomy while his Mexican grandmother introduced him to traditional healing plants. After working in corporate PR in Phoenix, he experienced burnout and took a sabbatical to travel Southeast Asia, where he documented traditional medicine practices and stargazing opportunities on a tight budget. This journey transformed into his now-successful blog that bridges scientific astronomy with cultural healing traditions, all while making both accessible to budget travelers.
