Roberto Simon
SALES MANAGER & TRAVEL CURATOR
Being lucky to travel from an early age made me realize, almost immediately, this is what I wanted to do. Traveling has always been one of my favorite things, and I have continuously been fascinated by the entire travel spectrum from airports to hotels, dining to once in a lifetime experiences.
What began with helping my family with vacation ideas turned into my full time career by the time I graduated from college, and I have been following that passion ever since. Curating experiences and unique moments for others is something that brings a smile to my face every single time, and I am always so excited for my clients to experience those ‘wow’ moments during their trips.
​
Having traveled so extensively, it is difficult to pinpoint my favorite destinations but two that really stand out for me are South Africa and Japan – both for very different reasons.
​
South Africa is where I spent my birthday one year and every destination was more magical than the last – from Cape Town to Stellenbosch and Sabi Sands to Johannesburg – the experiences were out of this world, and to combine those with some of the best accommodations – Delaire Graff Estate, Lion Sands Ivory Lodge and The Silo Hotel – had me seriously doubting whether I wanted to return home to Ecuador!
​
Japan is also very special for me as my father was the Honorary General Consulate, and this gave me a very special connection with the country. It’s a place that changes with every visit and it’s possible to find anything and everything from large modern cities to cultural towns, ski resorts, art islands and stunning nature, all with unique characteristics that make it like no other place on earth.
