About the Founder of Ray for Fun Travel Services

With more than a decade of professional experience and a lifelong passion for exploration, the founder of Ray4Fun Travel Services is a highly credentialed travel expert dedicated to crafting joyful, personalized adventures for every client. Holding the prestigious Certified Travel Associate (CTA) designation from The Travel Institute and CLIA certification from the Cruise Lines International Association, they combine formal training in travel planning, customer service, geography, and cruise expertise with extensive real-world experience across multiple continents and travel styles.

Ray4Fun Travel Services was born over 10 years ago from a deep love of South American travel. The agency quickly became known for its specialized, immersive tours throughout the region, with signature offerings that include luxurious Chilean wine experiences—tasting world-class vintages amid the stunning vineyards of the Colchagua and Maipo Valleys; exhilarating Patagonian hiking adventures, trekking through glaciers, granite spires, and turquoise lakes in Torres del Paine and Los Glaciares National Parks; and comprehensive journeys across Argentina and neighboring countries, from the vibrant streets of Buenos Aires to the majestic Iguazú Falls and the remote beauty of Tierra del Fuego. These carefully curated itineraries emphasize authentic cultural connections, outdoor adventure, and pure enjoyment—perfectly capturing the agency’s guiding principle that travel should always be fun.

In response to shifting traveler preferences following the COVID era, Ray4Fun Travel Services strategically expanded into the world of cruising, now representing virtually all major ocean and river cruise lines. Clients can choose from family-oriented voyages filled with activities and entertainment, ultra-luxury sailings featuring unparalleled service and gourmet dining, exotic expeditions to far-flung destinations, and serene river journeys. A key area of growth has been river cruising through a strong partnership with Viking, the industry leader in thoughtful, destination-focused itineraries along iconic waterways such as Europe’s Rhine, Danube, and Seine, as well as more adventurous routes on the Nile, Mekong, and Mississippi.

This cruise expertise is not theoretical—it is deeply personal. Over the past 15 years, the founders have personally embarked on approximately 35 ocean and river cruises, gaining intimate knowledge of diverse sailing experiences worldwide. These include classic transatlantic and transpacific crossings; culturally rich Mediterranean and Northern European itineraries visiting historic ports from Barcelona to Bergen; sun-soaked Caribbean escapes; wildlife-packed Alaska voyages with glacier viewing and bear spotting; and in-depth South American cruises that circumnavigate the continent, calling at vibrant cities and remote fjords. This hands-on background allows the founder to offer genuine, insider insights on ship atmospheres, cabin selections, onboard amenities, shore excursions, and the subtle differences between cruise lines—ensuring every recommendation is informed, honest, and perfectly matched to the client’s wishes.

Complementing the international focus, Ray for Fun Travel Services also brings extensive knowledge of domestic road trips throughout the Western United States. From iconic drives along California’s Pacific Coast Highway and through the red-rock landscapes of Utah’s Mighty Five national parks, to scenic routes in Arizona’s Grand Canyon region, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington, the founder has explored these routes extensively. This expertise is ideal for clients seeking the freedom and flexibility of self-drive adventures—complete with recommendations for hidden gems, scenic stops, comfortable lodging, and seasonal considerations that turn a simple road trip into an unforgettable journey.

What truly distinguishes Ray for Fun Travel Services is an unwavering commitment to personalized, stress-free planning. Whether a client dreams of hiking Patagonia’s windswept trails, savoring Chilean Cabernet under the Andes, gliding along a European river at sunset, island-hopping in the Caribbean, witnessing Alaska’s calving glaciers, or embarking on an epic cross-country American road trip, the founder serves as a trusted advisor who handles every detail—flights, accommodations, transfers, excursions, and travel protection—so clients can focus solely on the joy of the experience.
