“When we set up new destinations, we really look at what is undiscovered.” – Anna Mascaro
Today’s guest on the Art of Adventure podcast is the travel designer genius, Anna Mascaro. Anna founded Terracotta Travel and coordinates customized and luxurious destination travels, particularly in Europe.
I’ve had the privilege of working with Anna over the last year to get Terracotta off the ground. The back story to this episode is really cool. Anna was a listener to the Art of Adventure and reached out to me to be her coach as she was leaving her stifling office job in London, moving to the island paradise of Palma de Mallorca, and founding the travel company that became Terracotta.
Now to complete the circle, she is a guest on the show to talk about how she runs her business. I even learned some things from our interview about how much knowledge she has built up about specific travel locations over the years
In this episode, Anna shares her hands-on approach with the travel itineraries that she makes for her clients, and how she herself goes into those areas for her to really experience what a place and its community has to offer. She also shares how to run a unique business like hers.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
- How Terracotta Travel started
- How she coordinates with locals
- What it is like to run a business which involves personalization and a lot of travelling
- How she values interaction with the locals in a community
- How she creates perfect travel designs made specifically for her clients
- How Anna herself is an “Encyclopedia of Possibilities”
