Home • Experiencing the Globe

Hi there! My name is Coni.
I’m a Chilean Human Rights lawyer turned travel writer.

I’m aiming to go to all the corners of the world to carry one simple message: we’re all the same.

For years I’ve been looking for the most interesting travel experiences to guide my trips, so I came up with a bucket list with the best 201.

In Experiencing the Globe I’m writing about them, while trying to spread mindfulness, inspiration and knowledge.

And I’m using my skills in political analysis to bring you insights from around the world.

Expect off the beaten path (even within the classics), and always a focus on sustainability.

Join the journey!
