My way to Mexico

I am originally from Ukraine, but emigrated to Germany at the age of 22. The Caribbean and Mexico in particular have always fascinated me, so in 1999 I packed my bags again and found my new home on the beautiful Riviera Maya, more precisely in Playa del Carmen.

In 2002 I started my own business in the tourism industry, organizing tours and looking after guests as a tour guide. Since 2008 I have also been working as a real estate agent on the Riviera Maya. I got to know the most beautiful places in Mexico and above all the country and its people.

From tourism to wedding planning in Mexico

I have been a freelance wedding planner since 2005. My experience in tourism and my language skills (English, Spanish, German and Russian) have helped me build a great network that is essential for a perfect destination wedding in Mexico.
