CHRISTY MACKLEY
ATLANTA, GEORGIA
From a young age, I was captivated by my parents’ global adventures. Watching them travel to distant places like Italy, Japan, and Hawaii ignited my own passion for exploring new cultures. In my early 20s, I took the leap and embarked on a solo backpacking journey through Mexico, Central, and South America. It was there that I fell head over heels for Mexico’s vibrant culture, warm people, and delicious cuisine.
As I moved into my late 20s, I expanded my exploration to the Caribbean, discovering the unique charm of each island. Over the decades, my travels have given me an intimate knowledge of most Caribbean islands, each holding a special place in my heart. Today, I specialize in crafting unforgettable travel experiences for Mexico and the Caribbean. Additionally, as an avid scuba diver, I lead dive groups to these stunning locations bi-annually, combining my love for travel with my passion for the underwater world.
