Our Story
Hi! I’m Viviana—born in Colombia, raised in Chicago, and endlessly inspired by the world. My love for travel started early and hasn’t stopped since. I’ve explored all seven of the original wonders and spent the last 25+ years discovering new corners of the world, always chasing that feeling of awe. But what moves me most isn’t just the landmarks—it’s the moments of true cultural connection. From savoring street food in Thailand to celebrating Día de Los Muertos in Mexico, spotting lions in South Africa, and tracing my roots across Latin America, those experiences shape how I see the world. I craft journeys that are seamless, meaningful, and full of soul—so you can focus on what matters most: connection, culture, and unforgettable moments you’ll carry with you forever.
Discover more about my love for travel and the stories behind my journeys on my website linked below.
Travel Style
I design curated journeys for:
*Heritage Seekers: Reconnect with your roots through immersive cultural experiences across Africa, Latin America, Asia, and the Caribbean.
*Cultural Enthusiasts: Go beyond museums with hands-on experiences like cooking classes, private artist visits, and local festivals.
*Multigenerational Families: Bring 2–4 generations together through meaningful shared adventures that celebrate your story.
*Busy Professionals: Enjoy transformative travel without the planning stress—perfect for those who value their time and want an effortless, enriching escape.

Absolutely amazing experience! From the very beginning, our travel agent was professional, attentive, and incredibly helpful. They took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and made the entire trip planning process smooth and stress-free for a big multigenerational party of 7!
Everything was perfectly organized, from the flights and accommodations to the activities and transportation. Her recommendations were excellent, and they were always available to answer questions and help whenever needed.
Thanks to her expertise and attention to detail, we had an unforgettable trip. I highly recommend Viviana Franco to anyone looking for reliable, friendly, and outstanding service. Five stars without a doubt!

Viviana was INCREDIBLE!!! She assisted us throughout the entire process. We didn't have the time to check in, but she did it for us. The places we visited were fantastic. Her organization is the greatest. We will certainly recommend her to our relatives and friends.

Mis hijos y yo estamos muy agradecidos con Viviana, nuestra agente de viaje por ayudarnos a organizar nuestras vacaciones. Tuvimos una experiencia espectacular en el crucero Royal Caribbean. Visitamos varias islas en el Caribe y tuvimos la oportunidad de hacer diferentes excursiones recomendadas por Viviana. La organización de vuelos, la organización de nuestras cabinas en el crucero y la organización de las excursiones fueron perfectas. Estoy muy contenta con los servicios ofrecidos. Viviana es una persona profesional, con experiencia y muy amable. Espero trabajar con ella para mis próximas vacaciones.

Viviana was super amazing!! What really stood out was her attention to detail—from booking a family cruise, scheduling transportation, private dining, to our excursions! When we had a last-minute change, she handled it immediately. Thanks to Viviana, we had a truly unforgettable experience!!! We will definitely be booking with her again! I wish we could give her more than 5 stars!

Safari, Whales, Cities & Wine: Our 14-Day, Multi-Generational South Africa Adventure
This South Africa journey is extra close to my heart because I originally designed it for my own multigenerational family—11 of us, ages 4 to 68—coming together for a shared adventure and some much needed connection. We were celebrating two big birthdays (a lively 45th and a fabulous 60th!), which made the whole experience even more special. Flying in from Chicago, we found that 14 days was the perfect amount of time to adjust to the time change and fully enjoy five incredible destinations: Cape Town, the Winelands, Hermanus, the Sabi Sands in Kruger National Park, and Johannesburg.

From Craters to Coasts: 12 Days in El Salvador
El Salvador is a hidden gem in Central America, offering a vibrant mix of adventure, culture and natural beauty. From hiking active volcanoes and soaking in hot springs to exploring mural-covered towns, the country has something to inspire every type of traveler. For my family, this upcoming trip is especially meaningful — a way for my sister and father to reconnect with their Salvadoran roots, and for my two wonderful nieces to experience the richness of their heritage firsthand. More than a vacation, it’s a celebration of identity, culture and shared discovery. This itinerary is designed around my family stay in Playa San Diego, La Libertad, with four adults and two kids (ages nine and 16), traveling in late June through early July.
