MARISSA CORTES
Writer
Welcome
I have been a life-long avid traveler, consumed by wanderlust and curious to discover the world from an early age. With past residential stints in Italy, England, Argentina, and Brazil and years in between wandering the globe for work and for pleasure, every moment spent on the road has me inevitably planning where I will travel to next. I write about international, luxury, independent, and family travel, with a focus on the continents of South America and Europe. My writing has been published in Travel + Leisure, American Airlines’ American Way, the HuffingtonPost.com, Wanderfly.com, and on my own travel blog Travels with Lulu.

Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.
