I have been preparing for a career in travel my whole life without even knowing it, having already lived on 5 different continents. Born and raised in Germany, I left to attend high school in Ojai, California, and later went to business school at Fordham University in New York City. I never stayed in one place for long, spending time volunteering in Guatemala as well as studying abroad in Chile and Thailand. Before realizing that travel was my true passion, I began a successful career in event planning, working on events such as the New York Wine & Food Festival and the James Beard Foundation Awards at the Lincoln Center.
Eventually realizing that I wanted the freedom to travel more, I took a career shift and started working on cruise ships. The greatest perk of working on a cruise ship is the abundance of time off, which I used to continue my travel pursuits. It was while climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro on a trip to Tanzania that I met my husband. In order to start a family, I left the cruise ship life and started working in 5-star resorts. Yet, my passion for travel never stopped touring around the back of my mind! I started working hard to build a solid travel agency using new and improved travel programs to design custom and unique itineraries for my clients. Pimbi Adventures was born. My custom itineraries are the results of studying the countries, understanding the specialities, and finding a way to include the nation’s unique features into your travel plans.
Beyond travel, my family is very motivated to protect our environment and minimize the footprint that is left behind when traveling. Ideally, we wouldn’t leave a footprint but rather, leave a positive mark on all of the places we are lucky enough to visit!
