Hi, I’m Maria! I’ve lived in Cartagena long enough to know that its magic lies not only in the cobblestone streets and colorful balconies, but also in the warmth of its people. I love wandering through the Centro’s charming streets, camera in hand, capturing little moments of daily life. You’ll often find me exploring the lively corners of Getsemaní or the quieter beauty of Manga, both neighborhoods I know inside out. I’m always excited to share Cartagena’s fascinating history and vibrant culture, whether we’re visiting a museum or sampling street food from a hidden spot only locals frequent. For me, hosting is about connection - laughs, stories, and discovering the city together in a way that feels both personal and fun.
