I am born and raised in Bucharest, Romania with a true passion for exploration and new cultures discovery.
I have extensive background in Hotel Management and Adventure Travel as my family owned a small hotel in Romania and a 4x4 Off Road Tour Company.
My mission is to inspire and to share my passion for travel with every person I meet in this lifetime.
I Specialize in US National Parks and Adventure and Sustainable Travel and I am a Bucket List Achiever, either if is for my own or my client's dreams.
I have found my passion when I was two years old, flipping through an old Geography Atlas and by the age of 15 I have traveled to Turkey 7 times with my family who will lead small groups in adventures across the Europe.
My true passion took me around the world by the age of 21 and as a solo traveler I have visited Greece, Brazil, and over 26 U.S. States and over 10 U.S. National Parks.
The love for nature and new cultural endeavors created life lasting memorable experiences for me and I will love to share the art of creating memories with all my clients.
I am a Certified Travel Agent with a Bachelor in Travel Industry and Hotel Management from Dimitrie Cantemir University in Romania and Human Resources in Management from Mount Mercy University here in Iowa where I reside.
I have traveled as a Solo Traveler, and as a Family with my daughter that was just 6 months on her first International Flight so I bring a very diverse travel experience thorough multiple cultures and destinations, this making me an extremely detail oriented travel specialist and eager to inspire people around me.
On my days off you will find me exploring the world as usual. As a family we hike, bike, kayak and we stargaze in search for the new adventure, and life inspiring moments.
From overlanding on an edge of a canyon to kayaking on rivers in Iowa, from exploring new culinary enriched places to visiting empowering history museums all over the world in search for the best yet discovered artefacts and Ruins of Constantinople, from Volcanoes in Hawaii to Mountain Tops in Romania, from swimming in the Aegean Sea to the warm waters of the Atlantic Golf, I have experienced it all, and I want to share it with the world because true beauty is meant to be shared and explored, and we always leave places better than we found them.
I have a unique love for South American cultures, and I absolutely enjoy their vibrant indigenous history and their cuisine as well.
