Sales Support
I have worked at Steppes Travel for almost 10 years, helping to keep the Latin America team under control! My love affair with Costa Rica, its wildlife, magnificent scenery and its people stems from repeat holidays there with my young family. A trip along the Panama Canal is next on my list, while the children are eager to return to Playa Nicuesa Rainforest Lodge in Costa Rica.
