Alina MorettiMy name is Alina Moretti, and honestly, travel chose me before I ever chose it. As a fully licensed travel advisor with LuxRally Travel, I still think about my first trip to Cuba. The coral reef. A coffee plantation in the middle of nowhere. The ocean so blue it didn't look real. That was years ago and I can still feel it. That's the thing about certain moments — they just stay. I became a travel advisor because I couldn't stop collecting those moments, and along the way I realized I was good at creating them for other people too. I personally visit every destination I recommend. I have relationships and access that open doors most travelers never even see. And every trip I design starts with one question: what do you want to feel? I work with couples, families and solo travelers who are done with ordinary and ready for the kind of travel that changes something in them. If that sounds like you, let's connect.
