Rosa Ramirez Carlson
Rosa owes her traveling success to a simple idea she had many years ago. One that many people may have constantly but fail to act on; the insatiable desire to experience somewhere else.
A native of Peru who first came to the United States as an exchange student with the AFS, Rosa was so determined to add travel agent to her repertoire that she started cleaning the office of a local travel agency just to get in the door. That determination did not go unnoticed and soon she was officially designated the title of travel agent.
From there, Rosa was able to showcase her seemingly gifted ability to go above and beyond all definitions of client relations. With a strong passion for helping people along with her newly developed bilinguality, Rosa was quick to flourish into a new realm of possibilities, one in which she could not only experience the multitude of gifts the world has to offer, but share them intimately with the groups of people she would take with her.
