I believe that one of the most important things a person can get out of travel is not a better look at the world, but instead a better look at themselves. Travel forces you to get out, and stay out of your own head; to really take in another culture and understand why things are the way they are in different parts of the world. An open mind and heart are crucial to travel, and I believe that one's immersion in another culture is amazing for the soul. I love the idea of meeting new people and seeing new faces, and not looking at how we are different, but instead how deep down we are all the same.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"Thanks to Expedition Colombia I have been fortunate to have an in-depth look at Colombia's rivers, focusing on rafting and trekking."

How did you get involved in travel?

"I am lucky to have been born into a family that lives for travel. My dad is an airline pilot and I grew up with the privilege to see a lot of the world during my upbringing; this sparked an intense curiosity for the world and all its culture, art, and most importantly, people."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"Colombia changed my life for the better. I was able to not only get back to my roots as I am latin born, but learn so much about a quality of life I never knew I was missing. Being surrounded by such rich biodiversity, experiencing Colombia and all its nature has been a truly amazing experience, where I am creating memories I will never forget."
