Hello! I'm Lydia

Hello fellow traveler! I’m Lydia, your go-to travel advisor! Driven by my passion for travel, culture, and people, I’ve launched my own travel business and with great joy I welcome you to Viva Travel and Voyage, your one stop shop for a variety of travel experiences!

 

My own travel journey is what brought me to where I am today. Most of my travel has been immersive, living and socializing with locals. It all began at the age of 5 when my family traveled to Cuernavaca for language immersion school. In my teens I spent a summer in the mountainous region of Panama and attended high school in Salta, Argentina for a year through the American Field Service (AFS). My college year abroad led me to Madrid through St. Lawrence University’s international program which gave me the opportunity to master my Spanish and travel all over Spain and Portugal.

 

Using my formative years and college degree to build a foundation of knowledge and experience as it relates to culture, language, and travel, I moved to San Juan, Puerto Rico to work for the Episcopal Diocese of Puerto Rico. My short-term travels have taken me all over Europe, Mexico, and the Caribbean, to Cuba leading mission groups, to peace conferences in Germany and England. I've had the pleasure of exploring more than half of our countries beautiful States and National Parks. At this point I have visited 32 States, 21 Countries, and counting; so as you can see, I’ve been hooked on travel for as long as I can remember. Travel and the people I have met along the way have changed my life in so many incredible ways as I hope it does for you too!
