Eight years of creating experiences,
now shared with you.
For more than eight years, I worked as a high-end travel curator through Wine, Eat and Travel, now Carina Travel Studio — creating events and personalized, all-inclusive experiences in Baja.
My work meant understanding each traveler, choosing the right places, and bringing every detail together. Carina 101 brings that experience to you through practical guidance and independently curated recommendations, so you can create your own Baja experience.

There’s plenty of travel information online, but it can still leave you with questions: How do I get there? Who can I book transportation with? Is this place right for me? And how do I put it all together?
That’s why I created Carina 101 Baja Norte: to bring my firsthand recommendations, trusted transportation contacts, and practical travel information together in one organized, easy-to-use Guide + Map.
And because a great trip doesn’t have to mean choosing the most expensive places, you’ll find options for a wide range of budgets—from street-side taquerías to high-end restaurants, and from charming Airbnbs to beautiful resorts. I share what makes each place worth considering and who it’s best suited for, so you can choose what fits your taste, your plans, and your budget.
