Thaíss Benítez
Holaaa!
I’m Thaiss, and my journey has taken me to live in Russia and Brazil, where I immersed myself in different cultures, languages, and ways of life that broadened my global perspective. Being from Latin America, I’ve always felt a natural connection to the region. Chile and Ecuador stand out as destinations that inspire me with their remarkable diversity and landscapes.
Travel is a powerful way to connect, grow, and discover new perspectives.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I specialize in destinations such as Santiago, Valparaíso, and Viña del Mar, Easter Island, San Pedro de Atacama, Puerto Natales, and Puerto Varas, among others, across Chile and South America.
I focus on creating meaningful travel experiences that turn into lifelong memories, whether it’s for solo travelers, couples on a honeymoon, families, or trips with friends. Each journey is designed to feel personal, authentic, and truly unforgettable."
How did you get involved in travel?
"I got involved in travel when I realized the impact of helping others experience the world in a personal and meaningful way. Travel goes beyond discovering new places; it’s about connecting with culture, people, and the intangible emotions that make each destination unique."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"One of my most unforgettable experiences was living in Russia, where I had to adapt to a completely different culture, language, and way of life. It challenged me in many ways and taught me that the most meaningful moments in travel often come from stepping outside your comfort zone and embracing the unexpected."
