Co-Founder & Administrative Director

Colombian by birth, Costa Rican by choice, Karina Barbosa is the heart behind the operations at Wild & Luxe.
With a degree in Industrial Engineering and a specialization in Project Management, Karina spent years working with major international corporations. Yet, her true calling was in creating human-centered experiences aligned with her values of connection, purpose, and cultural respect.

Today, she plays a key role in Wild & Luxe as a strategic partner, helping to ensure seamless operations and soul-stirring experiences.

Karina is also the co-founder of Arawak Experience, a boutique French-speaking travel agency based in Costa Rica that focuses on culturally immersive and sustainable travel throughout Latin America. Through both platforms, she brings a unique cross-cultural perspective to every journey.
