About Me

Michelle and Edwin Rivera
Michelle and Edwin Rivera

I was born and raised Humacao, Puerto Rico. I moved to the US to attend Marquette University when I was 18. There, I studied Medical Technology and eventually earned my MBA. Marquette is also where I met my wife, Michelle. After our marriage, we began our adventure in Puerto Rico, where our two children (David and Sophia) were born.

When Michelle’s career allowed us to move back to the USA, and then to Europe, we jumped at the chance! Through our shared experiences, we have had the opportunity to travel extensively through Europe, the Caribbean and of course, the US. Life finally brought us back to America, and eventually, we found our away to the St. Louis metropolitan area, which has since become our hometown. Our adventures allowed us to make new friends and to share our love of travel with our family.

In 2015, I decided to use my experience to help others realize their travel dreams by joining Cruise Planners as an associate. In 2020, Michelle and I purchased our own Cruise Planners franchise.

IOur extensive experience in cruise travel, family vacations, multi-generational travel, European destinations, and Disney has left us with an expanse of knowledge ready and waiting to be shared!

Feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have… with zero obligation!
