Hi! I’m May, and I was born and raised in Switzerland. I now live in sunny San Diego with my husband, and I feel blessed to wake up to sunshine every morning.

I definitely inherited my love of travel from my mother, who was a travel agent, just like me. Whenever we had the opportunity, my family and I would backpack through Southeast Asia, and we also took occasional summer vacations to Italy, Spain, and France.

Since then, my wanderlust for traveling our beautiful world has only grown. I’ve had the opportunity to visit over 35 countries and five continents, and I’m always planning my next trip. Central America was the first place I traveled alone, so it will always hold a special place in my heart. The same is true of Southeast Asia, as I’m half Vietnamese. I have also grown to love the Middle East, North America, South America, and Africa.

No matter how you like to travel—solo, as a couple, with family, or in a group—or what kind of trip you prefer—adventurous, relaxed, or all-inclusive—I’m eager and excited to seamlessly curate your Exceptional Journey, as only we can do at Pura Vida Global Travel! I’ll be there for you every step of the way, using my firsthand experience to ensure you get exactly what you imagined and even more you never dreamed of.
