Valeria loves bringing people together for unforgettable adventures! Whether it’s a themed group cruise, a European extravaganza, a girls’ shopping getaway, or a snow-filled weekend, she knows how to turn any trip into a memorable experience with exciting activities and carefully curated itineraries. Born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil, Valeria moved to the U.S. in 1996 when she married Gus. With a background in theatre—another one of her lifelong passions—she thrives on creativity and connection.

Valeria holds a BBS degree with a concentration in Marketing and finds joy in faith, family, and discovering new destinations. Her favorite adventure so far? A 20-day group journey through Europe, visiting England, France, Italy, and Greece. Next on her bucket list? Exploring Spain, the homeland of her ancestors.
