Maribell (two “ll’s” to make her unique, her father said) was born and raised in Cusco, Peru. She studied Tourism at Universidad San Antonio Abad in Cusco but after some time off traveling and working she studied Hospitality Management at San Ignacio de Loyola University.
At 19 she learned about work and travel exchange programs that opened her eyes to new experiences. During the winters she worked in Park City, Utah and during the summer on Nantucket Island, Massachusetts (where she would love to live) — packing and unpacking was exciting for her every time. It was on the island where she confirmed her passion for customized service and hospitality that led her to continue studying.
Besides working at well recognized and high standard hotels and restaurants she had the opportunity to visit some of the main cities in the US such as Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, with her favorites being Boston and Maui, Hawaii.
While abroad Maribell appreciated her ancestral culture more and more, the love for her people grew, and she missed the extraordinary cuisine. Now she is currently living in Lima and she proudly shows the city & other parts of Peru to her friends from other countries when they come to visit. One great dream of hers is to keep learning about other cultures and traveling farther (especially Europe and Southwest Asia) to finally be a world citizen.
