Meet Our Travel Designer: Tanya Saenz

Hi, I’m Tanya Saenz, a travel designer with Great Circle Travel. I’ve always believed travel is about so much more than simply visiting a new place. It gives us a chance to experience different cultures, connect with people, try new things and create memories with the people we love.

Why I Became a Travel Designer

Travel has always been an important part of my life. I was born in Mexico, speak Spanish, and have traveled to more than 25 countries. Every destination has taught me something and reinforced how valuable it is to experience the world beyond our everyday lives.

I became a travel designer because I love helping other people have those experiences. I genuinely enjoy putting together the hotels, restaurants, transportation and special details that turn a good trip into an unforgettable one.

My Travel Philosophy

I believe the best trips are well planned, but never over-planned. Take care of the important details and the experiences you don’t want to miss, but leave time to wander, discover something unexpected and simply enjoy where you are.

My biggest piece of travel advice is simple: Don’t try to do everything. Slow down enough to truly experience the destination and enjoy the people you’re traveling with.
