Cultivating one-of-a-kind
travel experiences focused on great food & empowering women

Join Me!

Otehlia Travels offers one-of-a-kind group tour experiences and travel planning services that support local communities and inspire cross-cultural connection. I work directly with local tour guides, businesses, restaurateurs, chefs, and families, focusing on women-owned businesses and industries. My mission is to supports the communities in which we travel and to be sure you have the best trip possible. Let me help you embark on your next adventure!

On a food tour you expect to enjoy your sense of taste. Otehlia made sure all senses were heightened! The smells of food, beach, jungle. The sights: lush plants, lovely water, animals particularly the fish when snorkeling. The sound of the birds, waves, sea breeze, even a howler monkey! Not only eating the local food, helping make it while learning about the culture behind it. Super fun tour! SO glad I went!
