Can you tell my readers who you are and what you do?
I'm fortunate to have a career that lets me share my passion for alternative and dark culture worldwide, through my journalism, books, blog and TV shows. 

When I started La Carmina blog in 2007, blogging as a career was unheard of. I simply enjoyed blogging about Gothic clubs, Harajuku fashion and Asia pop culture. 

Gradually, my site connected with an audience, leading to projects and travels I never thought possible. I wrote three books (including Cute Yummy Time and Crazy Wacky Theme Restaurants), and have appeared in TV shows like Bizarre Foods, Oddities, Kawaii TV, and a promo for Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations. 

Everything came together into a "pirate ship," or TV fixing and hosting company that I run with “First Mate” Naomi Rubin. Some people describe us as coolhunters, since we give insight and access to underground cultures, filming TV shows in Japan and worldwide.

Today, I travel constantly for my work in travel TV presenting and journalism. I have a global video series on Huffington Post / AOL, where I explore alt culture worldwide (Prague, Miami, Hong Kong and more). You can see my television clips here ; they include The Doctors, The Today Show, Food Network.
