Valerio Mocchetto

Valerio was born and raised in Italy Novara, a small town just one hour’s drive from the Alps, where he spent most of his childhood. He discovered his passion for travel and new cultures, so he studied tourism at the university. Valerio served several years as a volunteer in the Italian Red Cross, where he grew up dedicating his free time to help in his town emergencies on the streets.

When he was 21 years old, he took the opportunity to manage his travel agency and collaborate with some Italian tour operators. This collaboration allows him to travel periodically to Sharm El Sheikh, Kenia, and Zanzibar, where he falls in love with the local mentality and culture.

In 2008 he decided to move to Spain in search of a better place to live and grow, starting a new life. From zero, he started to make new friends and learn Spanish. He worked for three years in an entertainment company; he then moved to SIXT Rent a Car and joined Marriott Vacation Club International for six years, where he worked in the marketing and administration departments.
