How did you get involved in travel?
"From a young age, I discovered my passion for helping others have a great time. Eventually, I realized this was part of something bigger: customer service. Alongside this, I’ve always been deeply passionate about travel and a strong believer in Ecuador's tourism potential.
Driven by these interests, I pursued a degree in Hotel and Tourism Management, followed by an MBA with a focus on hospitality.
Since then, I’ve been fortunate to connect my passion for travel with helping others enjoy transformative experiences in the region. I spent five enriching years with Celebrity Cruises Galapagos, gaining invaluable service experience, before serving as an advisor to the Ministry of Tourism of Ecuador, promoting my beloved country to the world.
In 2016, we founded Link Experiences, a specialized tour operator focused on creating bespoke journeys and exclusive experiences in Ecuador, the Galapagos Islands, and Peru, all while honoring the local culture. Visit us at: www.linkexperiences.com"
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"My first cruise to the Galapagos is one of of the trips I will never forget. Snorkeling with sea lions, watching penguins swimming and blue footed boobies dancing during the mating season were unforgettable moments that sparked my deep love for nature and shaped my career path."
