Inspired by my father’s impressive travel resume which includes over 35 countries, I developed my own passion for travel in the year 2000, after going with my family to Puerto Rico. I enjoyed the excitement of waking up in a new place and being treated like a true VIP at the Ritz Carlton San Juan that had me hooked.
The staff at the resort treated me like a real-life princess and by the third day, when I arrived at the pool, the hotel attendant already had my virgin Piña colada waiting with extra cherries on top. After this trip, I knew that I was obsessed with going on vacations and I couldn’t wait until my next chance to go away.
Throughout my life, I have had the opportunity to visit different countries throughout Europe, Asia, South and North America. Each time, I’d come home with a new stamp in my passport, as well as new knowledge, experiences and special memories. There is something so fascinating to me about learning about the way other people live, the food they eat and the traditions they have. Each time I visit a new place, I make it my priority to learn about the culture, lean in as much as possible and take away a new lesson or piece of knowledge.
There are still so many places I want to visit, and while I may not get to every country as soon as I’d like, I have joined the Over the Moon Vacations team as a part-time luxury travel planner as a way to help people plan the trip of their dreams and create unforgettable travel experiences.
Where was your honeymoon?
My husband and I are currently in the process of planning our honeymoon for this summer and are hoping to go to Greece & Italy.
What’s your favorite place on earth?
Italy! Where do I begin? The beauty, history, architecture and most importantly, the food are all second to none. I’ve never met an Italian city I did not like, and I can’t wait to go back!
