What started out as a hobby for Cristina has turned into an online reference in the world of travel for this young woman was born in London but calls Andalucia her home. All of this is thanks to her enormous skill in transmitting the passion and experiences she’s encountered on her multiple trips and her special talent in photographing the essence of the different people and cultures on our planet.
Thanks to the repercussion achieved with Mi paseo por el mundo, Cristina Fernández is now quite a personality in the world of travel. The many visits to her blog, which she started in 2011, have caught the attention of numerous publications specialised in travel that she now collaborates with on a regular basis.
Since 2013, Fernández who is based in Seville has collaborated with Kamaleón Viajes, the “El Viajero” supplement for the prestigious Spanish newspaper El País, CN Traveler, Skyscanner, Rumbo.es, Mstyle (the international magazine for the Meliá chain), Hola Viajes, and many others.
She’s also appeared on radio and TV several times thanks to her professional facet and her online influence.

A television programme took her around the world and became a whole lot more than just a job where she was could combine her two main passions in life, travel and journalism. Cristina has travelled to more than 50 countries so far in her professional career but admits that she adores Africa more than any other place she has visited, and it’s there where she expanded her photographic portfolio more intensely.
The Middle East and Asia are other areas she’s regularly visited, and America is the place she holds closest to her heart. She has also recently travelled to, captured on film and written about Senegal and Iran, which is relatively unknown in terms of tourism.
Her recommendations for readers: Myanmar is her favourite place in Asia and in America she highlights her experiences in Guatemala and Peru. But, she also recommends other places she has visited like Madagascar, Ethiopia, Botswana and Namibia. She went on an outdoor safari in these last three countries and described it as a liberating and exciting experience.
What has made Mi paseo por el mundo an incredible reference is Cristina’s skill to truly capture daily life in the places she visits and make her readers experience firsthand the different flavours, aromas and feelings from the different latitudes of our immense blue planet. Mi paseo por el mundo is a must-read for any self-respecting traveller and a window to the world capable of capturing its observers forever.
