SANDRA LIRA

CENTRAL & SOUTH AMERICA

WHOLESALE

Born in Toronto to old-fashioned immigrant parents, the importance of family and caring for others was instilled in me at a young age. Though I always dreamed of visiting far off places, I always thought they were out of my reach. As I got older, I began taking trips by myself to my dream destinations, making my travel dreams a reality. I graduated from university with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and History, followed by a college diploma in Child & Youth Work, with the intention of changing the world, one marginalized youth at a time. I worked for several years in social work, and though I loved the work I was doing, I felt something was missing. That's when I realized that I could find real happiness in making a career out of helping others realize their travel dreams. So now I'm helping others see how beautiful this world is and changing the world one travel dream at a time.

My favourite places
