As the Director of Sales, Rebecca Deering brings an unparalleled level of firsthand knowledge and passion to the SouthAmerica.travel team. Her journey began in 2008 when she moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina, in search of adventure—a move that turned into a six-year residency and a lifelong connection to the continent. Today, she considers Argentina her adopted home country, further solidified by her marriage to her Argentine husband, Felix, in 2016.

Rebecca’s travel portfolio is exhaustive, covering Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Uruguay, Brazil, and even two nine-day fly-cruises to Antarctica. This extensive field experience allows her to lead the sales team with a focus on authenticity, ensuring that every trip planned is backed by real-world insights and a deep understanding of local cultures.
