OUR TEAM

ABOUTI graduated from the top French business school HEC in 2006 with a Master’s degree in Business and Entrepreneurship. After working for Cartier in Paris, in the luxury travel sector in Shanghai, and for Oliver Wyman Management Consulting for 4 years, I felt it was the perfect time to make my dream come true: set up Family Twist.

ABOUTI hold a M.A. in Theology from Western Theological Seminary. Prior to entering the world of travel my work experience included professional coaching and client success. I have always been a curious traveler and from a young age I was acutely aware that wherever I placed my foot, two things would happen: I would take something with me and leave something as well. I have such a deep appreciation for family and culture. Friends would often ask me to design and plan authentic and immersive experiences. As a Travel + Leisure A-list advisor I understand the nuances of the entire travel life-cycle. It is in this vein that I am able to harness this knowledge and experience to best serve and partner with the travel advisor community to help them grow.

ABOUTI started studying law and quickly turned to the tourism sector by doing a master's degree in tourism management. It gave me the opportunity to travel to a lot of exotic places and build my expertise in handling traveling individuals, such as Vietnam and Cambodia. I moved back to France in 2015 and started working for Family Twist since that time: an obvious choice as I knew this company was going somewhere… fast!

ABOUTAfter getting my degree in International Business, I worked in the hotel industry for 3 years in Paris.

ABOUTColombian by origin, I moved to France when I was 18 years old to be an au pair. What was meant to be a 1-year experience turned into a decade in the country I now call home. I've always loved languages and travelling which lead me to a Master's degree in cultural tourism. I worked in different companies but it wasn't until Family Twist that I felt like I was truly doing something that I loved: crafting unique experiences for families in such amazing and varied destinations.

ABOUTI graduated from a Master's in Economics and Management for arts and culture in Italy. After a year working in an art Gallery in Hong Kong, I decided to move back to Paris and started working in a renowned international Culinary and hospitality school for which I was in charge of various programs and of student placement. I have always had a passion for food and food cultures! After a 10 years, I decided to focus more on my passion and started working as a Foodie Tour Guide for a French based company. Meanwhile, I also decided to create my company and organize trips in the region I fell in love with in Italy, Apulia, sharing my passion for its rich culture with tourists wanting to discover the true Italian southern philosophy of the “Dolce farniente”. I joined the Family Twist adventure with the conviction that the company was only at the beginning of a formidable growth and that I would find my place in it to develop new, rich and exciting projects.
