Hola, for those who don't know me, I'm a Canadian girl with her heart in Spain. Setting off on a life-changing journey I moved half way across the world to Valencia on the Mediterranean Orange Blossom Coast as it is named and 8 years later to the Andalusian gem Malaga, on the Sunshine Coast. I spend 16 years being fully immersed in the rich Spanish culture working and learning the language and later marrying my Andalusian amor. I am bilingual in Spanish and English and I hold a Tourism Diploma in Reservations & Airport Services from International Air and Hospitality Academy in Vancouver, Washington. With over 10 years of experience in office administration, I have also enjoyed Wellness and Life Coaching, invaluable experience in Hotels in Canada and Spain, years as a Flight Attendant as well as Quality Control Auditor at various airports in Spain conducting safety and operational audits. I pride myself in attention to detail, being present and providing complete professionalism. One of the most captivating old Mudejar style charm destinations, outside of Morocco, and one of my favourite places to visit over and over is Granada, Spain. The city's stunning architecture and rich history, particularly the grandeur of the Alhambra and the Generalife, is so alluring and shares it's beauty in so many different ways whether you go during the day or in the evening by candle light. The Moorish fortification, perched elegantly on the hill has captured the imagination of many artists and writers throughout time, such as Hemmingway, and ignites a desire to delve deeper into Spain's intricate cultural tapestry. My husband and I now live in the stunning Okanagan Valley in Kelowna, BC. and love exploring the spectacular British Columbian outdoors with our two Chilean rescue dogs. With my blend of travel enthusiasm, hospitality experience, and Coaching, it is my nature to instil goodness in the lives of those whom I encounter. I am passionate about enhancing the human experience by fostering cultural connections, and promoting personal betterment. Whether it's through exceptional customer service, engaging travel stories, or sharing with friends, new and old, my favourite Paella dish with Spanish tapas to start and a cold bottle of Verdejo. You'll find that I love imparting experiences and invaluable lessons that I have learned on my journeys. Kindness and understanding transcends borders through the senses, creating lasting bonds and that's what this world needs ore of. I look forward to embracing new opportunities to grow that allow me to contribute positively because that is what I am truly passionate about, helping others in any way possible along their own journeys in this precious life.
