Meet My Travel Team
Hello! Welcome to my blog Yo de Viajes, my name is Ursula Kiener Ford and I am Panamanian / Swiss. I am lucky to have adventurous parents who took me to exotic destinations since I was a child. As an adult I decided that I wanted to be a professional traveler and I have been working in the tourism industry for 12 years. I have traveled to 73 countries around the world and organized trips for many people. In addition, I do campaign with governments and the private sector, including airlines, hotels, travel agencies, restaurants and more.
Welcome There!
