About
Transforming Travel into Impactful Experiences for Conscious, Intentional Travelers
I am deeply committed to sustainable travel, wellness, impactful experiences, and fostering curiosity. At Avventura Vida, we believe travel should be intentional and transformative, that wellness is an integral part of the travel experience, and that every journey should enrich both the traveler and the places visited.
I don’t just book travel; I craft intentional and transformative experiences that leave a lasting impact.
I am not your typical travel planner. I believe in the power of intentional travel to transform lives. After stepping away from the corporate grind, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery and self-love, leading to my role as a deliberate creator of bespoke travel experiences, events, and retreats that focus on wellness, adventure, and cultural depth. I also support boutique wellness and travel service businesses with strategic bookkeeping services, ensuring their financial health and operational efficiency.

life experience
Let’s start at the very beginning.
Born in the majestic Andes of Ecuador, my childhood was filled with the grandeur of nature. Despite facing early challenges, including navigating the shadows of sexual abuse and my parents' tumultuous relationship, these experiences forged my resilience and fueled my journey to self-discovery. When my family moved to California, it opened a new chapter where I immersed myself in a new culture, learned a new language, pursued higher education after high school, and obtained my MBA. However, the corporate world soon revealed a need for more meaningful work.
After a life-changing car accident, I embraced my true passions, transitioning into wellness, accounting services for small businesses, and event planning. Today, Avventura Vida Consulting is the culmination of my experiences—where I blend my love for unique travel, my passion for transformative wellness, and my commitment to social impact and sustainability.
