About

Hello! I’m Tina.

Butterfly

I live in Orlando, FL—a region thriving in all areas of tourism—full of buzzing theme parks, lush hotel resorts, award-winning local cuisine, and acclaimed arts and culture. Pretty much anywhere you go, there’s plenty to do at all hours of the day and night.

Long story short, I moved from New Jersey in 2002, grew up in Melbourne, graduated from the University of Central Florida in 2013, and have lived in Seminole County ever since. I’m in my mid-twenties, just finished my MBA, and have about five years of marketing experience under my belt.

Like most people my age, I’m trying to figure out my purpose. What do I love? What am I good at? What does the world need from me? What’s going to pay the bills? While I have more questions than answers at this point, I do know one thing—I absolutely love planning trips.

Tree hugger

One day, I decided that I wanted to travel as much as I could afford. I wrote down some bucket list items…

“I want to visit the temples in Japan, see the pyramids in Egypt, attend Oktoberfest in Germany, play with kangaroos in Australia, hang glide in Rio de Janeiro, take a cruise to Antarctica, and thru-hike the Appalachian Trail!”

I was a very ambitious 21-year-old.

But here we are four years later—I’ve already checked off two of those items and I’ve got a lifetime ahead of me!
