Book excerpt: "Traveling has always been a part of my heart, I realize now that I got my travel bug from my parents. It started the moment they decided to immigrate to the U.S. and all of those years they took us on those road trips back to México and instilled in us the importance of family and tradition. My heart was always looking for ways to return to México. The courage that I needed to put in my two weeks' notice to travel back to the motherland and to have faith that I would be alright came from them, from the example they set going to a country they didn't know, figuring it out, and realizing that it turned out alright for them. I didn't need to find the courage out on an adventure, but the adventure did help me realize that I had courage in me all along as an inheritance from my family. All I needed was to reconnect with it".In Aventura, Amor y Tacos, Maira Hernández traveled to her motherland in Michoacán, México to spend several months with her abuelos in the ranchos her parents were raised in to reconnect to the life they had left behind.
