Your Virtuoso Travel Advisor
I'm Carla, owner and travel advisor at Discover Wanderlust Travel, where every journey is a thoughtfully crafted experience. I hold a deep conviction that true happiness is not found in material possessions, but in the tapestry of unforgettable moments that ultimately shape the very essence of who we are.
My mission is to unravel the intricacies of your travel desires, aspirations, and dreams. As a passionate travel planner, I invest the time to understand the essence of you as a traveler, allowing me to craft a unique trip that reflects your individuality. The result is a meticulously personalized adventure, ensuring an authentic and unparalleled experience that will weave memorable stories into your life.
I am Wife to a foodie (and gifted cook) and Mom to two spunky girls. My hobbies include photography, reading, genealogy research, learning Italian, cool weather runs and bike rides, spinning, hiking, true crime, movies at home, and if the mood strikes - baking!
I am a Verified Travel Advisor with the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA) and an affliate of Uniglobe Travel Center, a Virtuoso member.
