About Jess:
I knew I was going to love Latin America the moment I set foot in Argentina where I spent a year working and travelling to improve my language skills during a sabbatical year at University.
After graduation, I decided to turn that passion into my job because I wanted to show everyone what Latin America has to offer, and it was an excuse to travel back there at any opportunity!
Latin America is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful, richly diverse and surprising parts of the world; From the peaks of the dramatic Andes mountains to the lush Amazon Rainforest. Patagonian glaciers to moon-like deserts and idyllic beaches to unending salt plains. Whether it is adventure sports, hiking, photography, gastronomy, culture, history, wildlife or beaches that interest you on holiday, Latin America has something for everyone.
For me, its the people that keeps pulling me back to explore more. Their culture, their welcoming nature and their passion is infectious.
