Travels with Tesa, an independent affiliate of Tafari Travel
New York, NY United States
Tesa’s journey from the Philippines to New York City as a 21-year-old model led her to a successful career as an international fashion executive. But the more she traveled to distant and exotic locales, the more she realized her true calling: leveraging her love of travel to curate extraordinary experiences for others. Now as a luxury travel advisor, she relies on meticulous planning and a global network of partners to craft unforgettable itineraries for couples, families and groups seeking exclusive vistas and unique adventures. Tesa personally stress-tests most of her client’s journey by trying it first, from cruises in the Mediterranean to rugged African safaris, a reflection of her dedication and expertise. So far, her global exploration has included 80 countries across six continents, with the final frontier, Antarctica, already booked next year. She specializes in creating personalized journeys for clients with distinctive tastes. Dinner along the Mekong or on the Great Wall of China? She can make it happen. Trekking in Patagonia, Machu Pichu or Bhutan? She can arrange it. Solo travel across Europe for three months? She’s done that too. Her forte lies in independent luxury travel, historical and cultural immersions, artistic pursuits and, notably, uncovering hidden treasures of local cuisine and traditional crafts. With her, clients not only visit historic landmarks but also savor the local flavors and appreciate craftsmanship that makes each place unique. Tesa ensures her clients’ travel dreams become a reality.
