This was not a vacation — it was an educational FAM (familiarization) trip designed to build relationships and deepen industry knowledge so I can craft even better Costa Rica experiences for my clients. Over six full days I toured properties, inspected hotels and adventure sites, and met with local partners — including hotels, tour operators, destination management companies (DMCs), and transportation providers. I traveled with eight fellow travel advisors and returned full of ideas, partnerships, and memories. Here’s the trip, day-by-day.

Italy isn’t just about breathtaking views—it’s about flavors that linger in your memory long after you’ve returned home. From the rolling vineyards of Tuscany to the fresh coastal cuisine of Cinque Terre, La Dolce Vita is a journey for your palate as much as for your soul.
