I am originally fro Barcelona, Spain, and as a child traveled with my family all around Spain.
I always spent the summers at the beach in a little village in Costa Brava enjoying the cold waters and catching delicious seafood with my father that my mother would cook.
As a teenager I was travelling all around Europe; England, The Netherlands and France and soon to all European countries. I have always worked in the cruise industry, my first job was as in a travel agency having all cruise lines as clients. Cruise ships dock at the Port of Barcelona there are we prepared embarkation and disembarkation of guests, transfers to the airport, to the hotels we worked with for pre and post packages and excursions around the city.
In the summer I was always working and most of the time in the port when not in the office, I was a Manager making sure everything was running smoothly and soon a Royal Caribbean offered me a job to work at the Guest Relations Desk on board of a ship out of Miami. During that time I visited all Caribbean islands and took all the shore excursions. I was on board of ships for five years until decided to leave ships and live in Miami.Once in Miami I worked with Royal Caribbean, Celebrity y and Azamara's Private Journeys worldwide, Private Shore Excursions in any port where guests requested a private arrangement.
After that Intercruises hired me as Americas Shore Excursions Manager, shore excursions in all U.S. and Canada for all cruise lines: Princes, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Norwegian, Holland America, and all the others. I was also in charge of groups that had pre and post packages: hotels, excursions, different events. I was always travelling and doing something that I loved.
I was often travelling to visit all the ports, meeting the staff, taking excursions, our hotels, our restaurants and making sure our excursions and hotels four our groups met our expectations.

I was often in Los Angeles with Shore Excursions from all cruise lines, departing from the pier going to Santa Monica Pier Route 66 where we have a beautiful beach where I always take a walk to enjoy its beauty. Beberly Hills is a must, the neighbour with luxurious mansions where many famous actors live. Also Hollywood the place where the golden echoes of cinema's past meet the vibrant energy of a modern cultural epicenter. The Walk of Fame is more than just a sidewalk; it is a permanent tribute to the luminaries of the entertainment world. Stretching across Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street, these coral-pink terrazzo and brass stars transform a simple stroll into a journey through a century of pop culture.
I have had groups visiting the Napa Valley hills, meticulously groomed vineyards, and charming small towns that epitomize the luxury and leisure of Northern California's wine country. We visited 2 or 3 vineyards where envoy wine testing with food parings while you learn about de history of the Valley, an unforgettable experience.
San Francisco famous for The Golden Gate Bridge that visitors can walk or bike across for sweeping views of the Pacific or you can take the ferry to visit the prison of Alcatraz Island. We have there Pier 39 Fisherman's Whaff.
San Diego highlights of San Diego and its neighboring areas. Watch sea lions and pelicans on the beaches of La Jolla.
After that I decided that with my experience I could be a god Travel Advisor doing something that I love and creating unforgettable experiences for my clients.
