My Story
Travel has been my baseline since day one. Born to immigrants from Ecuador, I was flying internationally before I could walk, but it was a family trip to Germany for the 2006 World Cup that officially set the bar for what travel could be. That unforgettable energy ignited a lifelong pursuit of unique destinations and unbelievable experiences. By the age of 30, I had explored all seven continents, constantly chasing the joy of discovering the unexpected. I became a travel advisor to channel that lifelong passion and global perspective into a business, helping friends and clients skip the standard tourist track and step straight into incredible, memory-making adventures.
Travel Style
I love it all, and I prioritize balance: pairing unique, unforgettable activities with intentional down time to rest and recover. The last thing you should need is a vacation from your vacation. Whether I’m designing an elaborate girls’ trip, a romantic getaway with my partner, or a full-blown family adventure, I specialize in finding that sweet spot. I love brainstorming distinct destinations and tailored itineraries where every single guest feels seen, completely taken care of, and thrilled by the memories we’re creating.

I can't recommend working with Val enough! She made planning our anniversary trip completely stress-free and went above and beyond to make it special. She recommended great hotels in Cabo and found us a great rate at Esperanza Auberge. She also arranged all of our transportation and handled every detail so that all we had to do was relax and enjoy our vacation. We really appreciated how much she cared about making our trip special. I highly recommend working with Val if you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, responsive, and invested in creating an unforgettable travel experience!
