Welcome to episode 114 of The American Dream in the Eyes of Immigrants Podcast. I am your host, Heidy De La Cruz, and I am on a mission to change the narrative of immigration one immigrant story at a time!

Flavia shares her journey as a first-generation Peruvian American, raised in New Jersey, who has built a life abroad while empowering other Latinas to travel.

In this episode, Flavia reflects on her upbringing, the cultural shift of moving from a diverse school to a predominantly white one, and how her frequent visits to Peru kept her connected to her roots. She opens up about the challenges and opportunities of pursuing her master’s degree in Barcelona, her decision to settle in Portugal, and the pivotal experiences that shaped her resilience and passion for travel.

Flavia takes us through her journey from education to creating her travel brand, Latina Traveler, which offers solo and group trips designed specifically for Latinas. She shares why solo travel is so powerful for women, how community is central to her mission, and how her immigrant identity fuels the work she does today.

With Love, Heidy
