Pleasures, Curated by
Please, Do Tell

Lourdes Martin is a New Yorker who writes about travel and culture. After blogging for ten years, she launched Recuerdos, an online souvenir shop that partners with female artisans in conflict zones—looking to bring handmade products rooted in heritage. She’s also the founder of the Substack newsletter –

Please, Do Tell
– where she explores travel stories beyond our borders, focusing on slow travel and human narratives that shape our world and how we travel.

A city girl at heart with a love for nature, she thrives on the energy of urban life, yet she also dreams of having a small farm where she can escape to wide-open spaces, grow her vegetables, and reconnect with the simpler joys of life.
