About me

Managing Director of Itaca Tours Ltd, leading the company’s transition and expansion from the United States into England & Wales. I specialize in operations, branding, and the development of strategic partnerships across the travel industry.

My approach blends efficiency, regulatory clarity, and a strong focus on sustainable, long‑term growth. I’m committed to building relationships with destinations, suppliers, and industry professionals who value collaboration, high standards, and meaningful impact.

Why did you join the community?

I joined Travel Massive to connect with industry professionals who value collaboration, high standards, and meaningful impact in travel. As Managing Director of Itaca Tours Ltd, I’m expanding our presence across England & Wales and building partnerships with destinations, suppliers, and fellow creators. This community offers a space to exchange ideas, share knowledge, and contribute to a more sustainable and culturally respectful travel ecosystem.

What is your favorite travel destination?

I’ve been fortunate to explore many destinations that I genuinely love for different reasons, but if I had to choose one, I’d return to my roots: Spain. Its diversity of landscapes, cultures, and regional identities makes it feel like many countries within one, and it’s the place that shaped my passion for travel in the first place.

Where do you dream of traveling to?

The world is far too big and beautiful to choose just one place, and my travel dreams shift as I discover new cultures and stories. Right now, Egypt, Japan, Vietnam, and China resonate strongly with me — destinations rich in history, tradition, and perspectives that expand the way we understand the world.

What was your first travel job?

My first steps in the travel industry began in Madrid, working as a local agency organizing group and corporate events focused on leisure and nightlife experiences.

Later on, I continued my journey in Hoboken, New Jersey, where I created and led my own free walking tours.

What do you want to learn more about?

I want to learn more about how destinations are adapting to more sustainable and culturally respectful tourism models, and how technology can enhance both operations and the traveler experience without losing the human touch. I’m also interested in exploring new partnership frameworks with DMOs, hotels, and local suppliers, especially within the UK market, to create more meaningful and responsible travel experiences.

Three words that describe why we should travel?

Curiosity — Connection — Perspective
