My Story
I’m originally from Santiago and now based in Toronto. My yearn for adventure (travel addiction) has led me to over 60 countries around the world. I’ve combined my passion with my work here at Fora, and my goal is to ensure my clients have the best travel experiences possible.
Travel Style
When I travel, I seek out unforgettable culinary experiences, whether it’s savoring mango sticky rice in Bangkok, sampling street-market pierogies in Kraków, or enjoying fresh ceviche along the coast of Lima. I’m also captivated by beaches, where the sound of the waves instantly brings me a sense of calm. Samoa’s beaches will always hold a special place in my heart.
Beyond food and landscapes, I love immersing myself in local cultures and connecting with people from around the world. Some of my most cherished memories come from these encounters, like the inspiring couple I met in Xi’an, China, who in their 70s spend three months every year bicycling across the globe.
While I’ve hiked through the mountains of Patagonia and walked on glaciers in New Zealand, I often prefer strolling the windy streets of Edinburgh or enjoying a cocktail in Trastevere, Rome. Every destination has its own rhythm, and I enjoy discovering what makes each one unique. I plan my travels with a balance of adventure, culture, and relaxation, ensuring every trip feels both exciting and effortless. Ultimately, travel for me is about creating memorable experiences, tasting incredible food, and connecting with the world around me.

Victoria understood exactly what we were looking for in terms of location and amenities when she recommended the Tropicana Hotel. The Tropicana was perfect for our short stay in San Jose.

Victoria knew that we would enjoy this location at for a few days at the end of our 2 weeks around San Jose. Along with the amenities and cool vibe, the location close to the town of San Jose as well as the airport was perfect! She made the right recommendation with the El Ganzo hotel!

Hiking Up an Active Volcano in Guatemala: What Could Go Wrong?
Hiking Acatenango is one of the most unforgettable experiences in Central America because it brings you face-to-face with the raw power of nature, similar to the feeling one can get when looking at the stars. From its summit, you can watch the neighboring Volcano Fuego erupt in bursts of fire, lava, and ash against the night sky, a rare and humbling sight. The trek itself is a test of endurance, climbing through farmland, cloud forest, and volcanic rock before reaching the barren peak above the clouds. It’s not just a hike, but a journey that leaves you with awe, perspective, and deep respect for the earth’s forces.

The Secret Side of Argentario, Tuscany: Where Tourists Don’t Go
Argentario is Tuscany’s best-kept secret. Though beloved by Italians, it remains largely undiscovered by international travelers. During four days of wandering Porto Santo Stefano and its surroundings, I didn’t hear a word of anything but Italian. This picturesque seaside peninsula offers golden sunsets best savored with a cocktail in hand, pristine beaches with rare stretches of sand, freshly caught seafood served at welcoming restaurants, and a relaxed, safe atmosphere that makes it the perfect escape.

Elba Island Uncovered: Tuscany Without the Tourists
If I were Napoleon, I don’t think I’d have complained about being exiled to this island over 200 years ago. Its rolling hills, cozy vineyards, incredible local food, and boutique hotels make it one of Tuscany’s best-kept secrets. The little towns scattered across the island are perfect for exploring by bike or on a lazy road trip. And when you’re ready to slow down, the rocky beaches are waiting with crystal-clear water and endless views.

Kika's Garden Homemade Food in Cyprus
Kika’s Homemade Food in Cyprus was my first spot in Cyprus and instantly became one of my favorite finds on the island. Kika and her daughter welcomed me like family, and every plate tasted like it had a story—fresh, flavorful, and made with so much love. I left not only full and happy, but with a jar of their homemade marmalade to bring back to Canada, which felt like taking a little piece of Cyprus home with me. I can’t recommend this spot enough.
