Yosselin joins the office team in January 2019. She already has years of experience in toursimus, as she started at the age of 18 in the first incoming agency. Yosselin has thus already experienced all areas of a local travel agency and is very professional. She is our deputy manager and knows how to answer all questions. She spends her free time with her husband and child.
Armando is the youngest in the team and completed his final internship of the school 2020 with us and inspired us so much about himself and his work that he has since been working as an accountant here and studying at the same time.
Since he joined our team and is indirectly involved in tourism, Armando has gained many new impressions of his own country. Together with his parents, 3 siblings and his girlfriend of many years he would like to discover Costa Rica.
