I am half Chilean and American and have resided in both countries. I have been living in Chile on and off since I was 16 years old and am fluent in English, Spanish and Portuguese with over 10 years of experience developing guided tours for different needs and interests. I am a certified Tour Guide from the International Tour Management Institute (ITMI), San Francisco, California. I have an Executive MBA from the Universidad Adolfo Ibañez with a specialization in Latin America. I lived and studied within 6 of the most prominent countries within the Latin American region including Chile, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, and Panama. From living, working, and studying within the Latin American region, I have developed a deep understanding of its business communities, history, music, foods, and culture as well as a passion for its beautiful landscapes.

As an avid traveler, I have also lived and worked within many other countries in Europe. “Keith’s Curated Experiences” was born from my passion for understanding, experiencing, sharing different cultures and planning trips for my friends and family

I look forward to helping you plan and accompanying you on your trip to experience Latin America
