Dawn Feuerberg (AKA Aurora in Spanish)

Owner and founder of Aurora Adventures, LLC.

My longstanding relationships abroad give you access into an enriching, in depth local experience. I am both well connected and enthusiastic about sharing my access with you.

I value the genuine art of discovery travel. I create flexible itineraries that provide  you  the opportunity to make new discoveries.

Traveling for me is all about the connections. My ability to subtly bridge cross cultural connections between you and the locals abroad is what sets me apart. At a very young age I began to travel on my own seeking out and connecting with the aboriginal, the indigenous and the authentic local life abroad. Often times finding myself being the only non-native in the region. My longstanding relationships abroad give you access into an enriching, in depth local experience that is safe, comfortable and if desired,  luxurious.
