A Conversation with Talek Nantes, Author and Group Tour Operator

Talek Nantes began traveling before she was born. Her mother was pregnant with her when she traveled from Cuba to New York City where she was born. She likes to say, "I was made in Cuba and born in the USA."In college, she determined that whatever she studied would have to lead to the ultimate goal of traveling so she studied international business. She obtained an MBA and a Master’s in International Relations from the University of Pennsylvania. She had a career in international business as an international business development professional opening and developing foreign markets for U.S. products. This allowed her to feed her voracious wanderlust traveling to 111 countries, and counting, and living in Colombia, Spain, The Dominican Republic, Mexico and the UK.After her decades-long career in the corporate world, she switched gears and became a travel blogger. She honored her Cuban roots by writing her Amazon best-selling book, Cuban Exile Memories: Journeys of Courage and Resilience in the Pursuit of Freedom. Her travel site is www.travelswithtalek.com where she shares travel tips, advice and destination guides with readers. She also created a Facebook group for women over 50 who love to travel, “Over 50 Women Travelers Community and Resource Sharing.” In this inclusive, non-political group we share travel photos, experiences, tips and comments. It is a great place to find travel buddies, meet like-minded women, explore small group tours, arrange and participate in local meetups.Travel feeds Talek's soul. Talek continues to travel the world to expand her perspective by having new experiences.
