“Language has always been more than words to me—it’s connection, culture, and the way we experience the world…”

I’m the founder of HOH Spanish Lab and a Spanish educator passionate about creating meaningful, immersive experiences.

Before teaching, I spent over 20 years in the hospitality and travel industry in Venezuela and Barcelona. Today, I also host an Airbnb with my husband in the Green Mountains of Vermont—continuing my love for creating spaces where people feel welcomed and inspired.

This retreat brings all of that together: language, culture, and experience.

Born in Caracas and based in Barcelona since 2002, I have spent the past years working closely with people and companies to shape and elevate their brand experience through a wide range of creative projects—including branding, editorial design, social media content, and event design.

Alongside this, I have been involved in the planning and coordination of events and travel experiences, bringing ideas to life through thoughtful organization, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of how to create meaningful, memorable moments.

I believe in a holistic approach to design—where a brand is not just a logo, but a complete experience reflected in every detail.
