Travel information

I am currently

Description

I am deeply motivated by helping others, working hard to improve efficiency, making life easier, and brightening someone’s day. I thrive on meeting people from diverse backgrounds, finding connections through shared experiences, and celebrating our differences.

Over the past year, I have managed social media for my travel business, creating engaging content, building an online community, and inspiring people to explore the world. As a travel agent, I’ve planned trips for individuals and groups, focusing on experiences that are both meaningful and memorable. I also host local meetups that bring people together for exploration, adventure, and cultural exchange - whether that’s discovering hidden gems in the city or sharing stories over a meal.

For the past two years, I’ve managed an accounting firm in NJ, and for six years before that, I was an English, Science, and Math teacher. Some of the most fulfilling years of my life were spent living in Spain and Colombia, immersing myself in the local cultures, learning new languages, gaining fresh perspectives, and forming friendships that felt like family.

As a true extrovert, I find joy in bringing people together to have fun, connect, and grow. Whether through play, shared learning, or meaningful conversations, fostering those connections is my greatest passion.
