About Lily: Lily was born and raised in Santa Monica, California, home to the largest Zapotec migrant community in the U.S. After spending her summers in Oaxaca with her parents in the dream home they built, Lily rematriated to Oaxaca in 2013. It was then she realized the lack of representation of indigenous people, especially women, that existed in the travel industry in Oaxaca. Zapotec Travel now curates intimate experiences for responsible travelers alongside the community.
