Travel Advisor
Planning travel since 2024, Cyndy came to All World Travel after retiring from a career in cultural services with the City of Albuquerque — mostly museums. Working in travel had been a dream of hers for a long time, and it has become a fulfilling encore career. She lived abroad in Granada, Spain for two years and in Panama City, Panama for one year, speaks Spanish and English, and has been to Granada forty times, Madrid fifteen, and Mexico City ten. Travel is her passion, and she helps others plan and experience their dream vacations.

Get to Know Cyndy
What is your favorite destination and why?
"Spain — I lived in Granada for two years and I have been back forty times. Madrid fifteen times, Córdoba ten, Cádiz eight. I know Spain from the inside, the culture, the food, the festivals — it is a second home."
What is your travel philosophy?
"After retiring from cultural services, working in travel has been a dream come true. Helping others plan and experience their dream vacations is a very fulfilling encore career — travel is my passion, and I bring a museum curator's eye to every itinerary."
Most memorable travel moment?
"Returning to Granada, the city I lived in, with a client who fell in love with it the way I did. Watching someone discover the Alhambra for the first time — that is why I do this."
What do clients say about working with you?
"That I know Spain and Latin Europe like a local — because I lived there. I speak Spanish, I have been to Granada forty times, and I bring a cultural-services background that most advisors simply do not have."
