Born in the Philippines, she spent much of her twenties traveling solo through Europe — a journey she recently helped a client, also a single woman in her twenties, re-create.Totengco particularly enjoys seeking out fantastic local restaurants and artisans whose skills have been passed down through generations. Some of her past itineraries have taken travelers to make pottery on a windswept isle in the Aegean; to climb to the top of Mt. Batur to watch the sun rise over Bali; and to ride horseback through the Viñales Valley in Cuba. She prides herself on delivering world-class travel experiences in Europe and around the globe, whether it's a private lunch at an art collector's Irish estate, pottery making in Greece, or a self-driving adventure in Namibia.
