How did you get involved in travel?
"My love for travel started when I was just 16 and got the chance to visit Costa Rica on a school trip. As soon as I returned, I knew I wanted to explore the world as much as I could! Since then, I’ve traveled to 15 countries, whether it was with groups of strangers, friends, or even solo. Each adventure has opened my eyes to different cultures and ways of life, and I’m so passionate about helping others have these amazing, transformative experiences, too!"
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"One of my favorite travel experiences was spending a day like a local in Porto. The people in Portugal have a wonderful balance between work and leisure, taking the time to enjoy life. I strolled through the Mercado do Bolhão, where I picked up some fresh bread, cheese, and olives for a lovely picnic. Then, I headed to Ribeira Square to sit by the water while I read a book, enjoyed my snacks, and watched the boats go by on the Douro River. I'll always remember how I took a moment to appreciate the beauty of my surroundings."
