Tanya is a Physics graduate from Imperial College London. Originally from Mexico City, she lived 4 years in London and has had traveling experiences in most of Europe, Asia and South America. While at university, she got involved with the outdoors and kayaking clubs in a series of expeditions, which inspired her to switch her path momentarily from Einstein & the Big-Bang to wildlife conservation in Mexico. She was also commissioned as the president of the IC Latin-American Society where she was in charge of promoting Mexican culture in London. What she enjoys the most is traveling, outdoors sports, mountains, walking the Gobi desert, wandering around Antartica, eating raw insects with the natives from Cape York Australia, lying in a car passing 5 countries in 24 hours and hanging out in the freezing cold stuffed with jackets & avalanche gear. A loud fearless Jane who speaks a lot and will fill you with knowledge of Mexico and nature.
