My Journey
Who am I?
"Who am I?" This question first came up during a yoga class back in 2018, and it stuck with me for days. The truth? I didn’t know how to answer.
How could I introduce myself if I wasn’t even sure who I really was? Over time, through different versions of myself and new worlds I explored, I began to organize an answer. But honestly, this “Who am I?” will always be a work in progress.
That said, I’m Camila Gregurincic, born in Brazil with Croatian roots. Travel has been a passion of mine since I was little, my dad was a pilot, so I grew up exploring new places from a young age.
For those curious: I’m a Sagittarius with Gemini rising and a Reflector in Human Design, which basically means I love ‘me time,’ I’m curious and intense, I like change and flexibility, and I absolutely LOVE to travel.
Coffee shops are my happy place. I can spend hours in a new city just walking, reading, and people-watching. I really enjoy my own company (sometimes even more than being surrounded by people, haha), but I also love meeting new people and hearing their stories.
My travel style leans less toward tourist attractions and more toward cafés, restaurants, bookstores, parks, and connecting with locals and travelers.
At 18, I moved to Florianópolis (Brazil), where I studied International Relations, completed a postgrad in Customs Law, and spent seven years working with import & export. The “traditional path” seemed like the right thing to do, but I never truly felt passionate about it.
By 28, I left my corporate job, ended a five-year relationship, sold my car, and bought a one-way ticket to Thailand. That decision led me to eight months traveling through Asia and Australia, then to my first hospitality job at a 5-star resort in the Maldives as a Guest Relations Officer.
In December 2020, I went to Mexico and spent six months traveling as a Worldpackers volunteer in exchange for accommodation: two months in Mexico City, two in Todos Santos (Baja California), and two in Puerto Escondido. It was during this trip that I realized how much I loved sharing my coffee shop and restaurant discoveries. That’s when I first experimented with creating a website and sending Google Maps links to friends.
In March 2022, I published my book Por Que Não and two months later, I moved to Buenos Aires (and began working remotely with Worldpackers full-time as a Customer Success Manager. That role gave me the chance to live more than three years as a digital nomad, splitting my time between Argentina, Thailand, Australia, and Estonia.
What I'm building now: Digital restaurant and coffee shop guides for cities where I've I lived and/or visited. My obsession with documenting the local spots has evolved from personal Google Maps guides into a project helping food-loving travelers save time and turn food & coffee into memories.
I really hope you like my travel maps and services, and thank you so much for supporting my project.
It means the world to me!!
With love, Cami!
