Maria Medina
I'm passionate about traveling, hiking, and discovering new places. I find great joy in planning memorable vacations for clients. With 14 years of experience at PTW, I made a career change from my previous job seeking new opportunities. Since joining PTW, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my work. I value the stability here and relish the opportunity to explore various hotels and enjoy tours in my free time.
