Stories from our Barcelona office: Introducing Raquel

Date

This 2024, our Barcelona office has expanded with the addition of Raquel, our talented new MICE Project Manager. Let’s take a moment to get to know her better, in her own words:

“My name is Raquel and I was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, however I’ve spent nearly half my life living abroad. My journey began in England, where I fell in love with the museums, art, history, and culture. From there, I moved to France to complete my master’s degree and then to Germany, where I landed my first job after university.

What was initially a plan to spend just a few years in Barcelona has turned into over a decade. Here, I built my life, got married, and became a proud parent to two wonderful children. I hold a degree in Tourism and a Master’s in International Negotiations.

My career has taken me through exciting experiences, including working with major events like the Confederations Cup and World Cup organizations. In Barcelona, I’ve collaborated with several Destination Management Companies (DMCs). One standout experience has been working with Meg, a company where I’ve witnessed incredible teamwork and dedication to creating exceptional events. It’s been both an inspiring and rewarding workplace.

Barcelona is truly a special city where everything comes together: the beach, parks, mountains, and the charm of a small-town vibe within a big city. I’m passionate about traveling, exploring different cultures, and enjoying outdoor activities, all of which inspire me every day.”
