From the moment I could walk, the hum of airports and the thrill of boarding a plane became my reality. With my father working for an airline, I was fortunate enough to travel to sunny destinations every summer.  Starting at one years old I would walk down the familiar gateway to adventure.  It wasn’t just about the destinations—it was about the journey, the experiences, and the stories that travel brings to life.  

My love for exploring the world deepened when I attended the University of Miami in the vibrant and welcoming city of Coral Gables. The campus quickly became my second home—a place where I grew, not just academically, but as a person. Majoring in Geography and minoring in Spanish and Business Administration, I found my passion for connecting with different cultures and understanding the world around me. The university's rich environment and diverse community shaped my perspective and fostered my curiosity. Miami, with its lively atmosphere and international flair, was a perfect backdrop for my studies, where I felt connected to the heartbeat of the city and inspired by its energy.  

My time at the University of Miami was not just about academics—it was a deep love for the entire Miami experience. There was nothing like the energy of a Hurricanes game, especially during the seasons when we celebrated championship victories! The thrilling atmosphere, the roar of the crowd, and the pride of being a part of such a legendary program made my college years unforgettable. As a travel agent, I carry that same passion for sports with me, offering clients the opportunity to experience the excitement of live games, with personalized arrangements for tickets and accommodations to ensure every game day is memorable.  

After completing my undergraduate studies, I spent a summer immersing myself in Spanish in Laredo, Spain, before returning to graduate school to continue my geography studies. I chose to take the thesis track, conducting fieldwork in Mexico with a focus on foreigners who had made the enchanting town of San Miguel de Allende their home. It was a rich experience that not only solidified my love for the region but also gave me a deeper understanding of the stories that people carry with them across borders. 

As I ventured further into my travels, I embraced solo journeys to places like Mexico and Costa Rica, where I delved into new cultures and made lifelong memories. Later, I joined the U.S. Peace Corps as a Municipal Services Development Volunteer, serving in Paraguay for over two years. My home site, Ypacarai, Paraguay, became another cherished part of my global journey, where I led a library project and celebrated birthdays in the summer instead of the usual winter chill.  As a volunteer my travels took me further, as I spent a delightful New Year’s Eve in Valparaiso, Chile.    

After Peace Corps, I took on the legendary Machu Picchu trail with friends, hiking for four days and three nights through the heart of Peru. Along the way, I stopped in Panama, exploring the Panama Canal and the three brilliant capital cities that make up the country’s unique charm.  

In addition to my academic and travel pursuits, I also deepened my connection to wellness through studying yoga and becoming a certified yoga teacher, as well as a Reiki practitioner. These practices have not only transformed my own life but also inspired me to share the healing benefits of mindfulness and relaxation with others. My travels took me through the ancient ruins of the Mexican Peninsula, the sacred landscapes of Peru, and the antique culture of Panama—places where I could connect deeply with the earth and find peace within.  

As a travel agent, I’m thrilled to offer my clients the opportunity to book rejuvenating retreats that focus on healing, mindfulness, and personal growth, as well as more dynamic business retreats that balance productivity with relaxation. Whether it’s a peaceful wellness retreat or a corporate getaway that fosters connection and clarity, I’d love to help you plan the perfect escape.  

Now, after years of collecting stories and memories from around the globe, I’m eager to help others create their own adventures. Every trip is an opportunity to discover something new, and I’m excited to offer personalized travel experiences that will inspire and delight.
