Welcome to my adventures...
I really am a Mexican, but often confused for a Greek, Armenian, or just a plain 'ole white girl. Much in the way I am ethnically undercover, I have a knack for finding other undercover people, places, and things. Click here to read about the girl behind the mystique.
I hope you will find this lens useful for finding information on the culture, cuisine, music, and film of interior Mexico. I've also traveled extensively in interior Mexico, so I can offer tips on travel and places to visit in the following cities: Aguascalientes, San Luis Potosi, Zacatecas, Guanajuato, and San Miguel de Allende.
Also, I hope to entertain you with my witty and poignant observations about life as an "undercover Mexican" in the United States.
