My Story
I am a daughter, mother, wife, foodie, photographer, event planner and avid traveler. I absolutely think it’s important to travel with family, especially now that we are about to welcome a new addition to the family. I have done all sorts of travel in my life, from small hostels to boutique hotels to luxury hotels, and from backpacking with the bare minimum to months-long travel with luggage on luggage. For many years, I have been the go-to travel guru among my friends and family. I have helped them find the best deals, vacation spots, accommodations and activities for traveling. I love planning and giving tips and tricks on travel. I have traveled to over 29 countries by the time I reached the age of 32 and plan to continue to expand my world map, but now with my family.
My Travel Style
I've done solo, budget, minimalistic, family and friends, luxury, all-inclusive, domestic and international types of travel. With my travel experience and knowledge, I can provide amazing recommendations to make your next trip fun and memorable. In addition, I make sure I provide tips, advice and recommendations based on your preferences and criteria. At the end of it all, I just want to make sure you have an unforgettable vacation without any hassles and hiccups!

We had an amazing experience thanks to Minerva! She made booking our hotel room completely stress-free and found us the perfect spot that fit both our budget and preferences. Her attention to detail, responsiveness, and personal touch made all the difference. It’s clear she truly cares about her clients and takes pride in what she does. Highly recommend her to anyone planning their next getaway!

One of the top request from my daughter was to visit the Sanrio store in Little Tokyo. Minerva found us the perfect hotel - steps away from the store!

Minerva was helpful on finding us transportation and giving us tips and tricks to navigate the app and the park. I hope to leverage her Disney expertise again as everyone has an enjoyable time!

Minerva was very helpful in booking our cruise and kept me informed on what I needed to do before arriving at the pier. She made sure all of my questions were answered quickly. I usually book my own cruise but having an experience travel agent booking it for me made it easier for me. I just told her what I needed and the price range for the trip and she did the research to find me the best deals available and gave me a quote and I decided on the one I wanted. Simple! I will definitely be using Minerva again for my future travels.

Relaxing at Family-Friendly & All-Inclusive Finest Playa Mujeres
This was our first international trip as a family with a toddler. We wanted something super easy and relaxing, so we decided on an all-inclusive resort in Mexico. After months and months of research, we decided to stay at Finest Playa Mujeres, and I must admit, I was spoiled by the customer service and attentiveness upon arrival and throughout the trip. It’s going to be hard to find another all-inclusive resort that will beat that kind of customer service.

Day Trip to Disneyland, Paris with a Toddler
This was our first time to Disneyland with a toddler, let alone it being in Paris! Our toddler started to enjoy all things Mickey and Minnie, and we could see the whole classic gang. It was memorable as we got to see Mickey and Minnie together as a family!

Solo trip to Scandinavia: Copenhagen, Denmark Edition
Did you know Scandinavian countries are among the safest for solo women's travel? My first solo travel was to Scandinavia, specifically to Denmark, Finland and Norway. I traveled during my birthday, and it was the first time I felt so free-spirited while traveling. The trip was filled with rays of sunshine (literally because the sun is up from 4:30am to 10pm), and my first stop was in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Honeymoon with a Toddler in Paris, France
My husband and I didn’t get to have our honeymoon due to COVID, so we decided to do a family trip in lieu of our delayed honeymoon with our toddler, who was two years old at the time. We planned the entire trip around our toddler, and it was surprisingly pleasant due to the slower pace along with the attractions and restaurants we selected to visit that were kid- and stroller-friendly.

First Time in Europe with a Toddler - Rome, Italy
My husband and I didn’t get to have our honeymoon due to COVID, so we decided to do a family trip instead of our delayed honeymoon with our toddler, who was two years old at the time. We chose Rome, Italy to be our first stop because I knew it would be a much slower pace and easier to transition with the jet lag.
