My Story

🌎 Roots in Adventure
Growing up in Argentina, my parents were adventurers at heart. They transformed our Volkswagen Kombi into a camper, packing up my brother and me for road trips across the country. Some of my earliest memories are of winding roads, cozy campsites, and waking up somewhere new.

​

✈️ The First Taste of the World
At seven, I made my first international trip — a family journey to Europe to meet my mom’s relatives. In Italy, I spoke my first words of Italian with distant cousins. Travel wasn’t just a vacation; it was a bridge to my heritage and a wider world full of possibilities.

​

🏕️ A Youth of Exploration
My childhood was filled with adventure — camping trips with my Scouts group, summers along the Argentine coast, and family vacations to Uruguay and Brazil.

​

🌴 New Beginnings in the U.S.
In my late teens, my family moved to Miami, Florida. While I built a new life, I also began traveling through the U.S. thanks to a corporate job, attending national meetings and collaborations. But something was missing: the freedom to wander just for the sake of wonder.

​

🎒 Taking the Leap
After earning my bachelor’s degree and U.S. citizenship, I dreamed of a gap year — but reality and responsibility weighed heavily.
I found a perfect opportunity: an au pair position in Frosinone, Italy. It offered the chance to live like a local, travel on weekends, and reconnect with my Italian roots.

Before officially starting the job, I strapped on a backpack and journeyed through Europe — sometimes with friends, but often solo. Those solo moments, initially filled with fear, became the most transformative. Meeting strangers, wandering hidden alleys, laughing across language barriers — that was where the magic happened.

​

🌍 A World of Stories
After Italy, I lived and traveled through Serbia, Croatia, and even South Korea. Each experience taught me that the world is full of stories — and that you find yourself by getting lost sometimes.

​

🦋 From Passion to Purpose
When I returned home, the pandemic forced me to pause. But my passion never faded.
Friends started asking me to plan their trips, loving the details I thought of — the local eats, the hidden gems, the thoughtful itineraries.

That’s when I realized: I didn’t just love travel — I loved helping others experience it, too.
