Yirleny Gonzalez
My passion for exploring new places and immersing myself in different cultures led me to pursue a career in the travel industry. With over a decade of experience, I have worked in various roles within the hospitality and tourism sectors, including positions at hotels, travel agencies, and event planning companies. This journey has allowed me to develop strong skills in travel planning and customer service. Eight years ago, I joined PTW, where I've been able to blend my expertise and enthusiasm to craft unforgettable travel experiences for our clients. Working in the travel industry has been incredibly fulfilling, and I am excited to continue helping others discover Costa Rica.
