Meet Katrina Cepeda

I call the San Francisco Bay Area home and have spent much of my career in tech in the heart of Silicon Valley. My first job was working alongside David and Arlene Brown, and that role took me all over the world as I managed international programs.


My love of travel began at age 13, when my aunt and uncle invited me to spend the summer with them in Germany. From there, we explored several countries across Europe, and I knew then that I had caught the travel bug. Traveling to historical places and viewing beautiful art encouraged me to get a degree in Art History, which I have applied to where I visit.


My interests include:

  • Historical sites, art, and museums
  • Active and outdoor adventures
  • Culinary and cultural experiences
  • Seeking secret hidden treasures (speakeasies, underground cities, you name it!)


When I’m not traveling, I spend my time cuddling up with my three bunnies and attending music festivals.


I would love to help you plan unforgettable experiences and discover the places you’ve always wanted to visit. Please reach out and say hello!

Thankfully, things have changed a lot since then! Those old travel […]
