Day 11 of the LVMC Podcast Block Party features From Tourist to Local, hosted by Venezuelan transplant to Canada, Mafe Salazar.

This podcast goes beyond travel tips. It’s about the emotional and cultural journey of navigating major life transitions. Whether it’s moving countries, shifting identities, or learning to belong in a new place, Mafe shares thoughtful conversations and personal stories that explore what it really means to become “local.”

She’s also a fellow childfree Latina (one of us!) and you’ll hear more about that when she joins La Vida Más Chévere later this summer. For now, enjoy this clever and heart-centered take on transformation, migration, and making a new life on your own terms.

"Big life changes can feel like stepping into a new city without a plan… Exciting, overwhelming, and full of unknowns. But what if you could go from feeling like a lost tourist to navigating it all like a local?

Join Mafe Salazar as she shares unfiltered stories of navigating major life transitions. Career shifts, identity changes, and stepping into new versions of ourselves. Through honest solo episodes (and the occasional guest), we’ll talk about finding your voice, taking messy action, and embracing the unknown with confidence.

Let’s find your magic while figuring sh*t out! Because action begets action, and the only way to figure things out…is to start moving."
