Brooke is drawn to some of the most remote corners of the world, and visits them often. Yes, she has been to Timbuktu, but thinks there are more interesting places to visit in Mali. Amongst her exploits Brooke has tracked desert adapted lions in Namibia, been charged by a Rhino, met the pre-bronze age Tause tribe in West Papua, tagged whale sharks for research, flown in a super cub plane around Alaska, fly-fished in the remote rivers of New Zealand, and has even visited the South pole. Brooke is great at solving complicated problems with creative solutions. While Brooke was on a month long Antarctic trip with clients, events beyond her control stranded Brooke in the Falkland Islands after crossing the Drake passage in a private superyacht. Brooke managed to secure the soccer star Lionel Messi’s jet to get everyone to Santiago hours ahead of a storm that would have grounded them for days. Needless to say Brooke is dedicated and experienced. But it’s not all superyachts and private jets. Brooke, like the rest of the MAYAMAYA team, understands that the most expensive options are not always the best. To Brooke it’s about spending money wisely. It’s about discovering the hidden gems of travel experiences that often only locals who like and trust you can provide. Brooke has been in the luxury travel industry since 2005, and has long-standing relationships all over the world that allow her to share these unusual finds and the type of experiences money can’t buy. Brooke has a dedicated clientele who are curious about the world and greatly value travel and cultural experiences. They trust Brooke to know what they will enjoy, all of the smallest logistics to make sure their trip goes smoothly, and to be there for them when they need her most.

Robyn began her career in the luxury travel world in 2008. Prior to travel, she worked in fashion and her eye for style and design is apparent in the hotels and destinations she loves most. Robyn forms close bonds with her clients, and forming trust is what she attributes to her success. As a testament to this, she has a loyal following of travelers who have entrusted their family and friends’ trips to her for years.
A fourth-generation New Yorker with a sense of humor and a thirst for uncovering hidden gems, navigating a city is part of her DNA. Robyn couldn’t survive urban life without weekends in the mountains or at the beach. She revels in the shopping, food and wine experiences as much as she loves snow shoeing up a volcano or rappelling off the side of a rock face or skiing down a mountain. Robyn spends a significant amount of time personalizing every trip and finds it immensely satisfying finding the perfect hotel, guide, restaurant, experience or shop, to match each individual. She especially loves the process of getting to know each client on a personal level, becoming more than just an email address. Being the mother of two young children, Robyn knows first-hand both the joys of exposing young eyes to the world and the logistical requirements that are needed. She loves planning family trips that combine relaxation with fun activities, and new cultural experiences.

With an ever-curious mind, Matt is a firm believer that travel is the best form of education. After having studied six foreign languages and earning a degree in international relations from Tufts University, he decided to apply his passions for education and cultural exchange toward a career in travel. Working in operations at a luxury tour company, he learned the inner workings of the trade, mapping intricate logistics for destinations across the globe and developing acute attention to the minute details that can make all the difference to a trip. Since 2009 Matt has crisscrossed continents scouting for the latest luxury getaways, revisiting trusted properties to ensure they are still up to par, and vetting the immersive experiences that connect travelers with the local people and places. Matt appreciates that “luxury” has a different meaning and value for each of us. While he certainly enjoys a glass of Ruinart in a Maldivian overwater bungalow, he’s not afraid to rough it in a rustic jungle lodge for the opportunity to stand face to face with a 200 lb. orangutan. This is why Matt’s planning process is collaborative – working together to curate each client’s unique sense of luxury. Matt tends to seek the less traveled path, whether that means hosting intrepid travelers on trips to hidden shrines in Iran or searching for the most perfect yakitori in Tokyo’s back alleys.
