My Story
Back to the time, 14 years ago, when I was only 22 years old, I was sailing the seas on board cruise ships working as a photographer. Was like a dream come true at the time... Discovering so many places around the world for a young lady!!... and get paid for it!! Goshhh I had so much fun.. I cannot believe life goes too fast!
After five years at sea... back to land. I used to work as an events coordinator, travel agent, and concierge.
My last job was in American Express Travel & Lifestyle. Was a great journey for seven years in Luxury Travel... But I was looking for something else... Not only a 9–5 job with too many restrictions. I was sure there was another way to be a travel agent... a modern way!
Then I quit my job based in México City and I went to discover India for a month with my Yoga Study Group... Yes!! I am a yogi, too!
That was my very first time someone else made all bookings and travel planning for me... And trust me!! That zero stress feels like paradise.
So then... That’s why I am here!!.. with almost 15 years in this travel industry but now reloaded!!... Let me customize your dream destination.
For my happy ending!! Yes, it is always one!
After India, I flew to NY to be reunited with my fiance. We got married in Manhattan!!! And then I found FORA by accident in NY... The modern way to be a travel agent.
Now we are in Dubai... Starting this new chapter! With tons of stories and many places still to discover.
Are you ready to discover yours??? Let's do it together!! I am ready to curate your next adventure!
