Mini bio
How it started.
Cynthia grew up in Mexico with a wish to explore other cultures. On her original blog, she traces her interest in photography to joining an art collective. Travel and visual storytelling gradually became part of the same practice.
Finding her audience.
Her posts began as a way to keep family and friends connected to her life in China. In a 2023 SmartShanghai interview, she said the pandemic pushed her to explore more of the country in 2020. A video of Cynthia and her husband running through Yunnan landscapes became one of her early viral posts.
Sharing what she knows.
After six years in China, Cynthia now describes Barcelona as her base. Her work combines stories about belonging and cultural change with practical travel resources. Her Shanghai photo guide gathers more than 50 locations, while separate guides cover Zhangjiajie and Yunnan. In April 2023, she spoke at TEDxNYUShanghai about adapting to change while staying connected to her culture.
