The Morenita Team is made up of multi-cultural, multi-lingual, fun-loving hustlers. When you belong to multiple worlds at the same time, you develop a keen eye and ear for pointing out all the little quirks that come up as you cross between cultures. We are in essence cultural attachés, pointing out entertaining cultural codes we want to share with Morenita insiders.
