About me

Travel entrepreneur, photographer, and founder of Experience Wanderlust Boutique Travel Services and Wander Woofs Tourist Dog Sitting. I design bespoke itineraries across Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, and Greece.

Experience Wanderlust Boutique Travel Services creates Mediterranean journeys for discerning travelers who value stories as much as sunsets: wine and gastronomy, design hotels, wellness escapes, heritage trips, and accessible luxury.

Wander Woofs is Spain’s first pet-inclusive tourism service, offering dog-sitting by major landmarks, plus pet-friendly travel arrangements for visitors exploring Spain with their dogs. We help travelers plan smoother trips, access support, and enjoy cultural experiences while their dogs stay nearby with trained carers. The mission is simple: easier travel for humans, happier dogs, and animal-friendly tourism.

In 2025, Wander Woofs was shortlisted among the top 25 ventures worldwide in the Social Entrepreneurs in Tourism Competition, selected from almost 200 projects across 66 countries, supported by Travel Massive and partners.

Born in Brazil with Italian roots and a Barcelona base, I move between cultures and languages. I speak English, Portuguese, Spanish, Catalan, and Italian, and split my time between building travel products, photographing places, and championing inclusive tourism for humans and furry co-travelers.

Why did you join the community?

To connect with other founders, DMCs, and creators who are building the future of responsible, experience-driven and pet-inclusive tourism – and to find partners for Experience Wanderlust and Wander Woofs, especially for Mediterranean and urban travel projects.

What is your favorite travel destination?

Italy – especially when I can blend architecture, wine, and slow travel. I’m there several times a year, designing itineraries and scouting experiences for Experience Wanderlust.

Where do you dream of traveling to?

Vietnam, Japan, and Egypt are high on my current travel bucket list!

What was your first travel job?

Travel & architectural photographer for vacation rentals and travel brands – that’s how I learned to see destinations through both a guest’s and a host’s eyes, which later inspired me to launch Experience Wanderlust and Wander Woofs.

What do you want to learn more about?

How to scale impact-driven travel startups – from funding and partnerships to tech – and how to better reach travelers who care about responsible, pet-inclusive and culturally immersive tourism.

Three words that describe why we should travel?

Curiosity. Connection. Transformation.
