Travel enthusiast turned travel agent. I'm Maria, and I have travelled to 34 countries across five continents. As a teacher in South Korea and Brazil, I had many opportunities to explore and discover different cultures around the world. I've lived in Brazil for over a decade, and therefore, I've been able to get to know the country very well along with it's neighbors, which is why I specialize in luxury and adventure travel in Brazil and South America.   

Drawing upon my background in education, I've honed my organizational skills, attention to detail, and communication skills, seamlessly transitioning into the role of a travel agent. Whether you dream of relaxing on tropical beaches, exploring ancient ruins, going on cultural odysseys or tasting delicious wines in beautiful vineyards, I'm excited to transform your travel dreams into reality. I look forward to helping you on your next unforgettable journey. I love to share my experiences and inspire others to travel.  

Wine Whisperer

La Rioja, Spain

Do you like wine?  Well I love wine because it is not only a delicious drink, but also an occasion.  Wine tasting and visiting vineyards is a lovely, entertaining and educational way to get to know a place. Enotourism offers some of the most beautiful landscapes to discover and my husband and I always try to visit destinations with some wine country to explore and enjoy. 

Wine destinations I've been to: Bordeaux, La Rioja, Constantia & Stellenbosch, South Africa, Napa & Calistoga, California, Porto & Evora, Portugal, Mendoza, Argentina, Tuscany, Valley de Colchague, Chile, & Brazil's Bento Goncalvez. 

I have been to some of the most luxurious hotels in well-known wine regions and I'd love to help you plan your own wine country vacation!
