I’m Maria Sangria, and I’ve been solo slow traveling the globe for over 20 years. The past 6 years, Costa Rica and now Colombia have been my second homes. I’ve done all the things, had almost everything possible…good and bad happen. I know what works, what to avoid, and how to create a life abroad that’s safe, fun, and fulfilling.
I invite you to join me in person to safely and easily take the dream trip you’ve always wanted. I’ve designed and run curated, all-inclusive trips that partner with authentic local businesses to support sustainable tourism.
I’m also sharing my passion for helping others take the leap with the SnowBird Blueprint. Designed for those that are ready to live their travel dream life now. The Summer Society is my community for those that share the passion. Destination deep dives, blog & articles along with live Q& A and trip planning assistance. You’ll also be subject to special invites and first to know about upcoming trips.
