Trip Leader
-
Sep 2018 - Present
Trip leader for expertly hand-crafted small group itineraries for travelers aged 27-39 ish. The main trip locations I take care of are in the Caribbean, Central, and South America. Hospitality and community are the key words for this role. I take care of guests during the trip, ensuring everyone is ok and enjoying their time free from stress. From the time the guests arrive at the airport until the time they leave, they are my responsibility. I foresee questions they could have and bring the answer before they could even ask, and solve problems of any sort and kind. My objective is to make them feel comfortable and enjoy the travel experience without anything to worry. Having a lot of fun with them is also on my job scope, as we manage to make local connections everywhere we go, as well as connections within the group. The travel community we create lasts even after the trip is over. Trips I have led so far: Cuba, Belize, Mexico, Croatia, Costa Rica, Finland, Peru Show less

Sabbatical Period

Jan 2016 - Dec 2017
2 years out of the corporate world to dive alone into a self-transforming journey. - Full financial and logistic planning of the entire trip. - Volunteering in different places, countries and scenes. - I became more creative, flexible, open to ideas, aware of myself and other people. - Different experiences and courses during this journey: Asian cuisine, meditation, new languages, hotel business & hospitality, survival in the jungle, permaculture, among others. - Transformative experiences that no school could ever teach. - World-renowned training in India as a Yoga Instructor - 200 hours. - Being in touch with locals thought me how to deal with different cultures and approach life in a broader perspective. I decided to take the leap and leave the comfort of my home, ascending career, friends and family to discover the world and see everything through my own eyes. I wanted to experience life, use my creativity, be open to ideas and learn from what I have lived, not from what I have heard. A long therm travel can change people, and these people change the world. This trip changed my life I have no regrets whatsoever. Show less
