Friends on a Mission

Co-Founder Fiorella Miranda

I am Fiorella Miranda Carranza, the Co-Founder of our company. Since birth, I have been destined to be a traveler and adventure seeker. Growing up as the daughter of an avid surfer, my childhood was filled with exciting surfing trips across my beautiful native country, Costa Rica.

Driven by my passion for travel, culture, and adventure, I chose to study Business Administration in Tourism. I wanted to share my love for exploring new places with the world. Over the past 25 years, I have gained extensive experience in travel planning, hospitality, event planning, sales, and marketing within the tourism industry. I pursued an MBA in Marketing to further enhance my knowledge, allowing me to apply my skills in various professional roles.

I strongly believe that one can truly grow as a person through travel. It provides access to the world, opens hearts and minds to different cultures and ways of life, and expands awareness. This belief has shaped my perspective and fuels my desire to create unforgettable experiences for our clients.

During my free time, you will often find me cooking with my kids or busy planning our next family adventure. Spending quality time with my loved ones and instilling in them the same love for adventure and amazing experiences brings me immense joy.

As Fio, a nickname I adore, I am committed to making a positive impact through travel and creating lifelong memories.

Co-Founder Grettel Calderon

Passion for travel ignited my journey during a life-changing internship, setting the stage for a lifelong affair with the industry. Guided by the mentorship of two revered leaders, one in Costa Rica and another in the United States, Fiorella and I, dear friends for over two decades, embarked on a thrilling new chapter: the creation of Green Planet Expeditions.

Our mission at Green Planet Expeditions is to provide tailored, transformative travel experiences primarily in the Americas and Antarctica (for now!). Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of curating award-winning trips, some even recognized by National Geographic Traveler. For 11 years, I meticulously designed custom itineraries and managed operations for prestigious travel agencies catering to discerning explorers. Over the last 15 years, I’ve also created personalized experiences for a sophisticated clientele seeking exclusivity in their travels.

Beyond my professional world, I cherish life’s simple pleasures. As the sun rises, you’ll often find me embarking on invigorating bike rides, accompanied by my spirited beagle companion, Enzo. I also take great joy in exchanging heartfelt letters with friends across the globe and exploring the scenic trails of my hometown, Escazu, hand in hand with close friends.

In the confines of my kitchen, I skillfully recreate culinary delights from various corners of the world, infusing each dish with a harmonious blend of flavors that transport me back to cherished destinations. As I continue to weave the threads of my remarkable journey, I extend an invitation for you to join me on this extraordinary path of conscious exploration.
