Sarah Mariel Ruiz
Honduras is where my dreams were born.
Belgium opened the door to the world and taught me lessons no classroom ever could.
South Dakota is where my purpose started to take root.
Atlanta is where I learned traffic wasn’t the place to write my bio.
In El Salvador, I fell in love, learned to skate, and even surfed… twice in five years (personal best).
On weekends, I’m busy chasing the "influencer life" with food reels from my latest discoveries.
For now, you’ll find me in Mexico City until 2029, happily eating my way through every taquería in town.
