Traveling to Costa Rica, Spain, or Portugal?! Let's make it happen! 🇨🇷 🇪🇸 🇵🇹
Having worked as a former flight attendant, I had the privilege of traveling to numerous countries. My twin brother, naturally, became my steadfast travel companion. From exploring castles, basking at the many beaches, and eating delicious food in the Iberian Peninsula countries of Spain and Portugal to venturing into Costa Rica, rich in biodiversity, I've had the opportunity to immerse myself in diverse cultures, savor new culinary delights, and connect with people from all walks of life.

"🇪🇸 Spain 🌞 🍷
My Iberian roots have led me back to Portugal and Spain, countries I love. Among the most unforgettable moments were a road trip to scenic mountain villages and exploring castles in remote towns. I've been fortunate to experience Spain's stunning mountains, tranquil Mediterranean coastlines, and rich history. Spain genuinely encapsulates enchantment, charm, and boundless adventure. I'm excited to start planning your trip to Spain!
🇵🇹 Portugal 🏰 🌊
Lagos (the Algarve region) in southern Portugal has one of the most beautiful coastlines, with picturesque views of the rock formations of Ponta da Piedade and Benagil Cave! I have many memories of running the cliff trails with my brother and the Atlantic Ocean in the background! It is truly a stunning and beautiful region! I look forward to planning your perfect adventure in Portugal!
🇨🇷 Costa Rica 🌋 🌴 🦥
Costa Rica is full of memories of volcanoes, jungles, and beaches! It is truly the best place to do all things outdoors and have an adventure! My first mountain biking experience was near Arenal Volcano, which had stunning views of Arenal Lake! It was challenging but worth it! I will happily plan your perfect adventurous and outdoorsy experience, relaxing beach time, or a combo of both!"
How did you get involved in travel?
"Growing up my family loved to travel and go on road trips! One favorite memory from my time in Spain involves a family road trip. We loved the small villages perched on cliffs, explored countryside castles and villages, and savored the best paella in Valencia. Seville, one of my favorite cities, captivated me with its rich history and visually stunning architecture. The abundance of sites and buildings in Seville left me in awe, all contributing to the core memories of Spain!"
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"During an exciting adventure, I participated in a hike along the hanging bridges of Monteverde. Our guide pointed out a family of monkeys, navigating from tree to tree, and to my surprise, they eventually joined us on the bridges. Dozens of these playful monkeys walked and climbed alongside me, creating a truly memorable experience."
