Happy Travel Advisor Day!! 🥹✈️

I wanted to reintroduce myself for those new here! Hi! I’m Valerie (or just Val!)🤍 l’m the founder, CEO, marketing team… all the things that come with running a small business at The Wander and Travel 😅 but most importantly, I’m your travel advisor.

I specialize in adults-only luxury travel, and this is truly my passion… my baby 🥹

My favorite destinations are Spain and Puerto Rico (definitely a little biased as a Puerto Rican lol but you get it). I’m a beach bum at heart and I love all things Halloween, books, Marvel, Star Wars… and of course, travel ✈️

I just want to say thank you to everyone who’s supported my small business. Even something as simple as sharing my content means everything to me.

And to those who have trusted me with your trips and your memories, a special thank you 🥹✈️🫶 you’re literally helping make my dreams come true.

I can’t wait to see where this all takes me, and I’m so grateful you’re along for the ride 🤍

And if you’re wanting to plan a trip or even just talk travel… you already know where to find me 🥹

If luxury travel is on your vision board this year, let’s talk 👀

DM me EXPLORA and I’ll walk you through why this might be the perfect fit for you ✨🛳️
