The daughter: Hi! I'm Neri, born in Puerto rico and now living in Chicago. I am a travel advisor and flight attendant. I love to travel solo but now that my mom is retired, she joins me on some adventures.
The mom: Hola! My name is Iris and I am a retired mom from Puerto Rico. I have 2 daughters: Neri and Julianne. I love traveling and having new experiences now that I have time off. This will be my first time in Europe!
