Hola! I’m Julien Casanova…
The creator of Oaxaca Travel Tips. When I set off to explore Mexico again, I found myself always coming back to Oaxaca. The vibrant culture, wonderful people, stunning beaches, and incredible food kept drawing me in. After 4 years of living in Oaxaca, I love sharing what makes this region so special.
At some point I realized my main travel site was becoming overwhelmed with content about Oaxaca. So I created this Oaxaca travel blog to share with you why I’m captivated.
Xochitl grew up between Oaxaca and the U.S., shaping her nuanced understanding of both cultures. As a bilingual and bicultural translator, she is passionate about sharing Oaxaca’s depth beyond its well-known landmarks.
Through her writing, she offers travelers a thoughtful perspective on the region’s traditions, history, and everyday life. Whether exploring Oaxaca’s rich culinary heritage or uncovering its cultural intricacies, she aims to provide insight that goes beyond the surface.
With a deep connection to the city she calls home, Xochitl helps travelers engage with Oaxaca in a meaningful and informed way. You can connect with her travels on IG.
