Jennifer Byrne

Jenny’s first taste of Latin America was a 10-week backpacking trip around Mexico during university. Since then, she’s been hooked!

After living in Mexico and Bolivia, Jenny made the Cusco region of Peru her home in 2013. During six years working in the tourism industry, she developed in-depth knowledge of South American travel. Her personal trips have taken her around Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Chile, and Argentina.

Jenny now works in fundraising but continues exploring whenever she can. She spends her free time in nature, hiking, climbing or biking.
