Monica Irauzqui is the co-founder of worldwide travel company Yampu Tours. She's a New York Times Travel Show Speaker and has been featured in a number of publications, as an expert on travel destinations in Central and South America.

She started the company 22 years ago with her husband and now goes on amazing adventures with him, their clients, and their two children.

Monica talks about the whirlwind romance she had in her 20s, which took her all over – from living in Hawaii to Paris to New York. As she describes it, she was living Sex And The City, before it was even written! It was this breakup that inspired Monica to wholeheartedly embrace her love of travel and to even, found a company around it.

While I had her on the line, I had to ask her for her travel recommendations, specifically where to go when getting over a breakup. Stay tuned for her response on the best places to go and what to do there.
