Hi, I’m Bea!

The world is my away game.


Team USA athlete, photographer and planner. I turn the places I’ve been into trips you can actually take on the days off you have.

Move your cursor. Say hi.

About Me

From Cuba to Florida, and the trips in between

I made Bea Destinations to bring my trip plans and photographs together. You can browse a route, read a story, or use the notes while planning your own trip.

I was born in Cuba, have Spanish roots, and have called Florida home since 2014. My travels include holidays, longer stays, and trips with Team USA Women’s Handball.

I plan the way I work: routes, timing and logistics first, so limited vacation days go further.

How I Travel

Every Place Leaves an Impression

Some trips leave room to stay longer. Others fit around work, training, and matches. The guides and stories reflect those different schedules.

For a day-by-day route, start with Itineraries. For travel around sport, read the Team USA series.

Photography

Capturing the World as It Actually Is

My photographs are part of the story: the landscape, the streets, and the details I stopped to look at.

They sit alongside the practical notes so you can get a sense of a place as you plan.

A few things that shape how I travel

Beyond the Blog

Off the trail, I’m an engineer working remotely in tech and a right wing for the Team USA Women’s National Handball Team. Both shape how I travel: tight schedules, smart logistics and making every free hour count.

01

Build anywhere

Tech and remote work

Work comes along on most trips. Longer stays and short getaways call for different plans, and I write both.

02

Move with purpose

Team USA athlete

Training camps and tournaments have taken me from Nuuk to Marrakech. The Team USA series covers the cities between practices and matches.
