I've been traveling since 1997, and I've been fortunate to have amazing adventures in many different places throughout the globe. I'm originally from the Middle East, and I've lived in Malaysia, Turkey, the UAE, and Qatar. When I first arrived in Ecuador over 10 years ago, I was immediately mesmerized by its immaculate and immensely wide array of natural treasures, its unique culture, and the kindness of its people.

From a young age, I dreamed of flying to every corner of the world, and my grandmother, recognizing my passion, took me on summer adventures to explore the hidden treasures of Ecuador. Those experiences fueled my love for travel and led me to pursue a degree in hospitality, allowing me to see each country as a unique destination ready to be shared. Today, I’m deeply passionate about creating personalized journeys that exceed expectations. My goal is to craft unforgettable experiences, showcasing Ecuador, Peru, and Colombia's rich culture, beauty, and warmth. I pour dedication and love into every detail, ensuring that each trip becomes a cherished memory for my clients.

FAQs About Our Local Travel Experts in Ecuador

What’s the difference between a local expert and a travel agent?

Our local experts actually live in the country you want to visit - they’re not just selling trips, they’re sharing real knowledge. While a traditional travel agent might rely on third-party info, our experts know what’s open, what’s worth seeing, and how to avoid the crowds. They’ll plan your trip based on what works right now, using their own network of trusted guides, hotels, and local experiences.
