When I was a kid, I always dreamed of doing someth

When I was a kid, I always dreamed of doing something big, but I never imagined my life would turn out this way. I chose dentistry, thinking it was my path — but life had a different plan. 💫

With an insatiable wanderlust and inspired by the @thebucketlistfamily began to dream of something even bigger-traveling the world with my family. 🌎❤️ Today, I’m living that dream. I’m no longer a practicing dentist, but a full-time travel writer, photographer, and a travel agent, creating memories with my loved ones, exploring new places, and helping others experience the world.

This journey has been beyond anything I could have imagined as a kid. It’s not just a career, it’s a dream come true. Every day, I’m grateful for this life I’ve built, for the adventures, and for the people who make it all worthwhile. ✨ Oh and did I mention that all of this change came at the age of 39? So I urge you…if you’ve ever wanted something different in life, please know that it’s never too late to follow your dreams!

Me at home, waiting for my next trip like a kid waiting for the ice cream truck. 🚚🍦 (Did I just date myself with that reference? Does anyone still have ice cream trucks? 😬)

What’s the first place you’ll travel to once you get the chance? 😂✈️

Wherever we go, as long as we’re together, it's

Wherever we go, as long as we’re together, it's always home. 🌍💖. Home can be a place, but it can also be a person or people.

Quick story: Before we started traveling as a family, Josh and I actually took 2 trips where we left the kids behind. We went to Fiji and the Maldives on two separate occasions, and each time it just didn’t feel right. After a few days, we worried and missed the kids terribly. They were 1 week trips, and since 2 of those 7 days were the travel time, they were quick turnaround trips. So we thought to ourselves that if the kids were with us, we wouldn’t feel the urge to return and we wouldn’t worry or miss them. So when we reconsidered our travel style… and let’s just say the rest is history! 😅 🏡✨

It's me… hi!

We've gotten some new followers lately, and I wanted to take the opportunity to reintroduce myself and our traveling family of 5!

I am Mayra 👋🏼 married to my amazing husband Josh! We have 3 beautiful kids, Emma, Abby and Tristan.

I used to be a dentist and ended up leaving that world to become a full time family travel journalist and a licensed travel advisor (yes, I can book trips for you!!). Now we get to go on incredible adventures all around the world, discovering different luxury properties and experiences.

It's been such an amazing journey so far, and I am most grateful for all of the time I get to spend with my family, showing my kids the world, different cultures, ways of living, cuisines, and all that there is to see out there!

Oh, and even though we've seen plenty of wildlife, you can be sure to catch me 20ft away from any snakes 😅
