About the Speakers
Sarah Gemba
Spain Savvy
At just 10 years old Sarah boarded a plane from hometown Boston for Guadalajara, Mexico to visit a school friend and began a lifelong love affair with the Spanish language, the Hispanic culture and all things travel.
Through her alma mater Connecticut College, Sarah was able to spend two semesters studying abroad in Spain with the idea of perfecting her Spanish and learning flamenco.
Little did she know, she was slowly becoming enchanted by the city of Seville and would ultimately move to Spain permanently in 2004, embarking on a career in cultural travel. Since then, she has been sharing her personal discoveries with travelers of all ages and backgrounds. Sarah worked for over a decade for a boutique study abroad company leading the travel department, in between stints at local travel agencies. Today, she runs the boutique destination management company Spain Savvy, with a vision to make Spain THE premier destination for discerning travelers.
Since 2015, Scott spent countless hours learning about the “whats, wheres, whens, and hows” of travel. He made professional connections around the world and has the tools to custom-build your personalized trip the extraordinary way. Scott’s entire professional career has been in sales and service. He believes, the while the “widget” has changed, the lesson remains the same: take care of your customer and your customer will take care of you.
