I am Kathy Ruiz, a bilingual travel advisor in English and Spanish, based in Phoenix, Arizona. I was born in Mendoza, Argentina, and I am also a fifth-grade teacher.

I am a FORA Advanced Certified Travel Advisor and the host of small-group journeys. I believe travel is more than visiting beautiful places: it is discovering new cultures, making memories, and traveling with intention.

Every trip starts with a conversation — where you want to go, how you like to travel, and what will make the trip feel personal. From there, I design options tailored to you and support you before and during your travel.

Travel with a small group, at a thoughtful pace, with culture, food, and wine at the center. That is the heart of Travels by Kathy.
