After years of covering the U.S.-Mexico Border, as a TV reporter in Arizona and California, Laura Castañeda got the idea to launch her own border blog in 2017. "Every time I crossed the border on foot coming back to the U.S.,I witnessed something different," Castañeda said. With that, she created a blog called, "Reality and Unique observations about life along the U.S. Mexico border." She often posts unique, original content, and profiles people who live in the border region
