About
An expat that embraces a blend of luxury and adventure, with a healthy mix of culture, cuisine and nature.
Travel style
My travel style reflects the diversity of my life's journey. Originally from California, I've spent the past 15 years living in Europe, mostly in Spain. Along the way, I've developed a deep appreciation for the Mediterranean way of life, from food and wine to local traditions.
I’m endlessly fascinated with exploring the world, which has brought me to over 70 countries. It is one of my greatest joys to share hidden gems and local restaurants I’ve discovered along the way. You can rely on me to curate authentic travel experiences that blend the perfect mix of local culture and luxury.

Marisa's reviews
Marisa was extremely helpful! She assisted with our reservation and ensured that we were upgraded and received F&B credits. She was very communicative and detail-oriented and answered all of my questions. I will definitely be working with Marisa again on booking my upcoming trips... both US and abroad!
