{"id":457,"name":"Val\u00e9rie Frossard","url":"https:\/\/midlandtravel.com.ec\/","description":"Val\u00e9rie Frossard is a Swiss-born Ecuador and Gal\u00e1pagos destination expert. 14 years of experience, 8 Gal\u00e1pagos expeditions. She arrived in Ecuador in 2012, and what was supposed to be a two-month stay for Spanish classes in Quito and voluntary work in the Gal\u00e1pagos Islands turned into a business venture, a family, and dual citizenship.\r\n\r\nSince October 2012, Val\u00e9rie has helped run Midland Travel, a Quito-based travel agency and tour operator, and designs personalized Ecuador journeys.\r\n\r\nShe\u2019s traveled extensively through Ecuador, first solo, then as a couple, with friends, and nowadays as a family, so she not only has vast knowledge about Ecuador\u2019s diverse regions but also about different travel styles and traveler pain points.\r\n\r\nWith 8 Gal\u00e1pagos expeditions, 14 years behind the scenes of Ecuador travel, and thousands of travelers served, she writes about Ecuador from lived (personal and professional) experience, not search results. She aims to inspire and make Ecuador travel planning easier.\r\n\r\nThanks to her Swiss roots, Val\u00e9rie perfectly blends precision in planning and operations with the local warmth and know-how of someone who has made Ecuador home. This unique mix and her dedication have earned Midland Travel hundreds of 5-star reviews and 5 nominations at the World Travel Awards.\r\n\r\nWhen she's not designing itineraries or out exploring, you'll find her cooking up Swiss-Ecuadorian fusion recipes, reading a good novel, or doing handicrafts with her little one.","link":"https:\/\/universal-traveller.com\/de\/profile\/valeriefrossard\/","slug":"valeriefrossard","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/universal-traveller.com\/wp-content\/litespeed\/avatar\/88c598b439c0ecd3155b6d09f8f13bbf.jpg?ver=1790843760","48":"https:\/\/universal-traveller.com\/wp-content\/litespeed\/avatar\/2981ac73adfb3872c7bc2c77fc2cf8cc.jpg?ver=1790843760","96":"https:\/\/universal-traveller.com\/wp-content\/litespeed\/avatar\/f544c10cc702033e9757862460e7def6.jpg?ver=1790825204"},"meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/universal-traveller.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/457","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/universal-traveller.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
