Meet Your Host

Hi, I’m Lizelly.

I’m a designer, artist, and passionate traveler who has fallen in love with Oaxaca—so much so that I want to share it with you! After visiting many times before, I’ve curated an experience that brings together my love for culture, art, and delicious food. As an introvert, I understand the value of both meaningful connections and personal downtime, and I’ve designed this trip with that balance in mind. My goal is to make your experience effortless and inspiring, so you can focus on enjoying every moment.

 FAQs

  • This trip is designed for open-minded, creative women who love slow travel, good food, and meaningful experiences. It’s perfect for solo travelers who enjoy the ease of a planned trip but still want time to explore on their own. If you appreciate cultural immersion, scenic walks, and connecting with like-minded women, you’ll love this experience.

  • This trip is best suited for women who can comfortably walk unassisted. Oaxaca is a walkable city with cobblestone streets and some uneven terrain. We’ll take our time, but you should be comfortable walking at a relaxed pace for up to 20-30 minutes at a time, sometimes on inclines or stairs.

  • Unlike large group tours with rigid schedules, this trip is intimate (only 6 guests!) and curated for travelers who love a balance of planned activities and personal leisure time. It’s not about rushing from place to place for the Gram—it’s about experiencing Oaxaca deeply, savoring the food, meeting local artisans, and feeling at home in the city.

  • You’ll fly into Oaxaca International Airport (OAX). Please plan to arrive before noon Oaxaca time on the first day of the trip. This allows enough time to settle in before our welcome gathering.

  • No, flights are not included. You’ll book your own round-trip flight to Oaxaca (OAX). Feel free to email me for help finding flight options.

  • Yes! Travel insurance, including cancellation coverage, is required for this trip. Life happens—whether it’s unexpected illness, travel delays, or an emergency—we want you to be protected. I highly recommend purchasing travel insurance at the time of booking. Travel insurance confirmation will be requested.

  • This trip is a carefully curated, small-group experience, and because of that, all payments become non-refundable after April 30, 2025. I highly recommend purchasing travel insurance with trip cancellation coverage to protect your investment.

  • If you decided to cancel your trip before the final refund deadline, please email me at journeywith@comoavetravel.com before April 30th, 2025. A $100 cancelation fee will apply. No refund or cancellation requests will be accepted after this date.

  • This is a slow travel experience—meaning we won’t be cramming a hundred sights into one day. It’s about savoring each moment, enjoying long meals, wandering through colorful markets, and embracing Oaxaca’s rich culture at a comfortable pace.

  • This trip is centered around experiencing Oaxaca’s incredible food culture, and while many meals include a variety of options, it may be challenging to fully accommodate significant dietary restrictions. If you have mild preferences or common dietary needs (such as vegetarian options), we’ll do our best to ensure you have enjoyable meals. However, if you have severe allergies, strict dietary requirements, or need highly customized meals, this trip may not be the best fit.

  • Meet Your Host – Lizelly

    I’m a designer, artist, and passionate traveler with an undying devotion to warm, freshly baked bread. As a Mexican-American who once focused on checking off the “must-see” European cities, it was my first trip to Oaxaca that truly opened my eyes to the beauty of my own country. Oaxaca stole my heart, but the rest of Mexico—with its vibrant cities and charming small towns—has settled into my soul. Now, I’m on a mission to visit them all!
