A Few Things About Me
🌍 My travel motto is simple: "I want to do all the things!" I'm the person who wants to experience every destination to the fullest—from iconic landmarks to hidden gems and everything in between.
🍷 I believe some of the best memories are made lingering over a great meal, a local wine, and conversations that last long after the plates are cleared.
🤝 I love watching strangers become friends. There's something special about seeing a group come together through shared experiences.
đź“Ť I enjoy finding those places that make you stop and say, "I can't believe this is real." Those are the moments that stay with you long after the trip ends.
❤️ I believe life is too short to keep putting your dreams on hold.
Meet Maria
Travel has always meant more to me than simply seeing the world.
For me, it's about celebrating life.
After surviving cancer—not once, but twice—I made a promise to myself: if I was fortunate enough to keep moving forward, I would never stop exploring.
Those experiences forever changed the way I see the world.
I realized that tomorrow is never guaranteed.
Every passport stamp, every sunset, every shared meal, and every unforgettable experience became a reminder that life is meant to be lived—not someday, but now.
That promise became Via Rosa Experiences.
Today, I create thoughtfully hosted group journeys that bring people together to discover incredible destinations, build genuine friendships, and celebrate life's moments—both big and small.
Whether you're traveling solo, with a friend, or marking a milestone of your own, you'll always have a place with us.
Because adventure is better together.
Why I Host Experiences
I've discovered that some of the best moments in travel aren't found in guidebooks.
They're found in the conversations over dinner after an incredible day of exploring.
The laughter on a sunset cruise.
The strangers who become lifelong friends before the trip is over.
The confidence someone finds by taking a trip they never thought they'd take.
Those are the moments I love creating.
My goal isn't simply to book vacations.
It's to design experiences where every traveler feels welcome, every detail is thoughtfully planned, and every journey becomes a story worth telling.
