My love for travel started at a young age. My grandparents were obsessed with cruising the world, and I wanted to grow up to be just like them. Today, I am lucky to have a carer I am passionate about, and where I get excited to do what I do best. Growing up in San Diego and going to school in Tijuana, Mexico, helped me understand the importance of being open to different cultures and experiences. I hope I can transmit that to my clients when planning and designing their unique travel plans.

Favorite Destination and Why: Paris has captured my heart since I did my semester abroad in 2005. Being my favorite city. As for destinations, Thailand, Italy, and Mexico are tied. I love countries that offer a mixture of culture, variety in nature adventures, culinary experiences, and love in it's peoples hearts.

Languages: English and Spanish

Areas of Specialty: Honeymoons and romantic travel, exclusive sports events.

My Travel Style Is: When I travel, I love emerging in the culture and being an explorer and not a tourist. I try to meet locals and find those little whole in the wall places that give you an authentic feeling about each destination.  

Fun Facts About Me: 

I'm obsessed with trying new foods.

I planned my honeymoon in less than a month because I couldn’t decide the ideal honeymoon for my husband and I.

I studied kinesiology and did a career change to travel after 1 year of graduation because "do what you love and you will never work a day in your life".
