MEET CARMELLA SANTOS
A Life Well Traveled Has A Way Of Changing Your Point Of View
FOUNDER of en route escapes, CARMELLA santos, BELIEVES EXCEPTIONAL TRAVEL IS AS MUCH ABOUT DISCERNMENT AS IT IS ABOUT DESTINATION.
For Carmella, designing a trip begins with understanding what makes an experience feel exceptional to the person taking it. Not simply where you want to go, but how you want to spend your days, what draws your attention, and what will make the experience feel distinctly yours.
Through En Route Escapes, she pairs that understanding with a discerning eye, trusted relationships around the world, and an instinct for knowing when the smallest detail can make the greatest difference.
