Beautiful atmosphere, so many choices. Coffee, juices, cakes, all of the Oaxacan staple foods, including tamales and tlyaudas… it’s also a place you can pick up fresh produce.

Pig & fish La Cochera
@perfectlyflawedwoman
Pig and Fish started as a food truck. I used to go to the truck in front of Sams Club for the best fish and shrimp tacos… Baja style! The new-ish brick in mortar in Reforma has all the choices, and the bomb salsa tray is provided for all taste buds.

Chepiche Cafe
@perfectlyflawedwoman
A great mix of traditional Oaxaqueño and more Gringo leaning options! All very good, in a beautiful, natural setting. Located in the Xochimilco neighborhood which is perfect for a walk through to look at all the murals.

Selva Oaxaca Cocktail Bar
@perfectlyflawedwoman
The setting here is incredible. They also have two little balconies looking out at Santa Domingo. This bar is always on the top bars in world list and for good reason. Personally, I love their signature drink, the Selva!

I'm a passionate traveler and creator of unique, immersive, small-group trips for women to Mexico, Morocco, and NYC.
My husband and I created a lifestyle where travel took center stage. We made the conscious decision to embrace unschooling for our children, allowing us the flexibility to navigate life at our own pace. Together, we embarked on adventures across numerous countries, including Italy, Scotland, Ireland, Peru, Germany, Norway, Spain, Morocco, Mexico, Costa Rica, and road trips across the USA. I've also embarked on solo adventures in India, Italy, Mexico, and NYC, further enriching my experiences.
Throughout my years of travel, I've nurtured meaningful relationships in many destinations. I work closely with these connections to offer my clients a truly unique and specialized experience. These are once in a lifetime, unforgettable, small-group trips tailored to provide an authentic and enriching experience for women.
In addition to curated group trips, I also offer self-guided walking tours and recommendation lists right here on Thatch. These resources empower you to fill your trip with unique experiences, allowing you to explore your chosen destination at your own pace while still enjoying the insights and expertise I've gained through my extensive travels.

My mission is to curate journeys that go beyond the ordinary, fostering personal growth and deep connections while discovering the world's wonders.
