ANE URQUIOLA LOWE
Travel advisor and blogger
When Ane Urquiola Lowe— spurred by a breakup and newfound sense of freedom— started a blog via Tumblr in late 2011, she only wanted to document her travels and the food she ate along the way. Last year, Lowe left her 9-to-5 job in finance to focus on The Hungry Chronicles (thehungrychronicles.com), her fruitful food-meetstravel lifestyle blog. “I wasn’t unhappy at my job, but I wasn’t doing what I loved,” says Lowe. “I had to take the chance to see what I could do on my own.” Born in Mexico City and raised in McAllen, Texas, Lowe took to travel naturally, with her multicultural flair reflected in her style. Now, as a travel advisor and blogger, she hopes others will explore the world and develop a craving for its many tastes.
“I think traveling alone is good for people. With the right attitude and some extra planning, you can really discover yourself.”
