África Hernández
Entertainment Travel Manager
Favorite place I’ve travelled: Paris. The city’s charm is in the details – from ornate balconies, patterned cobblestones, beautifully crafted food, and lush gardens. There’s something to discover around every corner, from world-class museums to inviting cafés that encourage you to slow down and take it all in. I am especially drawn to the city’s rich history and its vibrant art and literary culture.
Favorite travel accessory: My phone. It’s an all-in-one essential that keeps me connected, informed, and prepared. I use it for everything – from navigating with maps and booking ride shares to previewing restaurant menus and translating phrases in foreign languages.
