Mini bio
How it started.
Mariel grew up in Mexico City and studied journalism at the Carlos Septién García school. She entered the media at 18, worked at El Sol de México and found travel radio at Radio Fórmula. A press trip to Mazatlán was also her first time on a plane.
Finding her own voice.
She co-hosted and produced ReporTour at Grupo Imagen for four years. Wanting room for the stories and advice that did not fit traditional media, she built Mariel de Viaje. Her welcome video appeared in June 2015.
Where to follow her work.
Her videos combine destination visits with trip-planning advice. She also writes for El País: her November 2026 solo-travel column draws on her experience walking the Camino de Santiago.
