Day of the Dead: Beyond the Marigolds and Sugar Skulls

Lynda Martinez del Campo is a cultural historian, university professor, professional speaker and a certified professional tour guide in Mexico City.  With a particular interest in fostering international understanding, Lynda expanded her work beyond the walls of academia to focus on sharing Mexico with an international audience.  She delights in introducing visitors and residents alike to the many dimensions of Mexico—its language, history, art, traditions and rich cultural traditions. 

Lynda was just eighteen years old when she first set foot on Mexican soil.  Over the more than four decades she has lived in and out of Mexico City, her fascination with the country has only deepened.  She has participated in numerous national and international conferences and, during the lockdown years, successfully transitioned to the virtual world, sharing her love and knowledge of Mexico with audiences around the globe through Zoom presentations.
