Christian Abarca Arrillo Raziel
Founder & Principal Researcher — SafeBohemian Intelligence
I am a 38-year-old U.S. citizen with a passion for helping others navigate the world efficiently, safely, and affordably. Having lived most of my life in Las Vegas, Nevada — with significant time in California and Tampa, Florida — I eventually studied Accounting and International Business at a university in Nevada. My deep understanding of logistics, travel coordination, and international cost-management began during my years of military service, which provided the discipline and foundational knowledge I still use today.
Following my service, I pursued extensive international travel across Germany, Romania, the Philippines, Japan, Madagascar, Ethiopia, South Africa, Peru, and Mexico. By fully immersing myself in local cultures — including living abroad in Mexico and the Philippines for several months — I gained firsthand experience with the true realities of an expatriate and nomadic lifestyle.
Professionally, I possess deep expertise in travel advising. I have worked closely with the cost and bill-pay aspects of ticketing alongside travel agents, analyzing and approving cost-cutting itineraries for complex international routes. My goal is to secure the absolute best quality of life for the most fair amount possible — without ever exploiting local communities or workers in developing nations. Saving money should never come at the cost of another community's stability.
This philosophy gave birth to SafeBohemian.org — empowering travelers with accurate, ethical intelligence about global living. In an increasingly unpredictable world, understanding how shifting airline routes, fluctuating currencies, and changing visa regulations impact your budget is critical. I created this platform so you don't have to learn things the hard way.
