My journey in this amazing career began when I saw a couple of passengers who were escorted by a tour guide. It was exciting as they were sharing joyful moments from their trip to the Ecuadorian Amazon Rainforest, and the excitement in their expressions was unforgettable. In that moment, I realized that I wanted to work in the tourism industry. In Ecuador, I worked with airlines and cruise companies, where I had the opportunity to learn in depth about the Galapagos Islands, the Amazon rainforest, and land services across the Ecuadorian mainland. The experience that I have been developing during this time has opened the door for me to join Goway Travel. I’ve travelled throughout South America, beginning in Ecuador and continuing through Peru, then crossing into Chile. I also visited Cartagena to experience the Caribbean side and learn more about its vibrant culture and warm people. In Central America, I’ve had the chance to explore Costa Rica, and its spectacular Pura Vida spirit has truly captured a special place in my heart. I’m delighted to assist my clients and share my travel spirit with every journey I design. Let’s work together to create an unforgettable experience for your guests.

My passion for travel goes far beyond visiting new destinations to learn about different cultures, connect with local traditions, and experience the authentic spirit of each place. One of my favourite parts of every journey is enjoying the landscapes, tasting local food and beverages; those experiences create memories I’ll carry with me for a lifetime. I love talking with people to learn about who they are, what they enjoy, and what excites them about travel. Connecting on a personal level allows me to create journeys that feel unique and unforgettable.

Two of my favourite trips have been to Chile and Costa Rica. When I visited Chile, I decided to travel solo. I wanted to experience what it’s like to explore on my own and learn how to take care of myself while travelling. It turned into an unforgettable adventure. I explored Santiago, Viña del Mar, Valparaíso, Puerto Montt, Puerto Varas, and San José de Maipo. I love looking back at my travel photos, and now I relive those moments when I share my experiences with my clients. My second amazing trip was to Costa Rica. I explored Alajuela, La Fortuna, Monteverde, Manuel Antonio, and Corcovado National Park. It was simply spectacular to see how such a small country has become a sustainable Pura Vida paradise. The rainforest, the jungle, the landscapes, and the incredible activities offered there go far beyond what most travellers could ever dream of.
