I was born and raised in Cartago, Costa Rica, tackled my studies and then later worked. I moved to the USA and lived, primarily, in NYC for 14 years. 

 

I have a BA in Tourism and over 25 years of work experience in the travel industry which has allowed me to travel extensively throughout the country. 

 

Travel is my passion and I’ve always felt like an Ambassador to Costa Rica when discussing trips with my clients. I’m grateful to be part of this fantastic organization and I yearn to continue providing outstanding service to my clients.

Let our expert travel consultants help you create the experience for you.

We were in great hands from the moment we landed! Loved the excursions, hotels, and our driver ā€œMarlon Brando.ā€ You made everything smooth with great planning and thoughtful check-ins. Truly an enjoyable and worry-free trip!

Our agent made our honeymoon stress-free and fun! She was available throughout, even when I felt unwell early in the trip. Her support and great recommendations helped us feel better fast. So grateful for the special touches she added along the way.
