For Brenda Torres, the spirit of adventure has been woven into her life since childhood. It all began when her parents took her and her brother on a whirlwind multi-destination tour at just seven years old — a journey that included stops in Mexico City, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Orlando. What felt like a fantasy adventure back then would ignite a lifelong passion for exploring the world.
Fast forward to 2025, and it’s no surprise that Brenda’s love for travel has evolved into more than just personal experiences — it’s now the foundation of her business. Together with her husband, Javier, they form the ultimate travel duo. Between them, they have explored more than 30 countries, visited 49 U.S. states, and sailed on over 60 cruises. Their shared love for adventure, cultures, and global experiences has become the heartbeat of both their marriage and their work.
Brenda’s professional journey has always stayed close to what she loves most — creating memorable experiences. With more than 20 years in the travel and hospitality industry, her expertise spans across hospitality marketing, vacation ownership marketing, and, most recently, adventure sales. Like so many others in the industry, the post-COVID era presented both challenges and opportunities, and Brenda chose to lean fully into what she does best — helping others explore the world.
Her dedication paid off. In 2025, Brenda achieved a remarkable milestone: ranking in the top 4% of adventure sales globally for a renowned international travel brand. This wasn’t just a title — it was a testament to her hard work, commitment to client satisfaction, and deep passion for travel. As recognition for this achievement, Brenda and Javier were awarded their very own Veteran-owned franchise with Dream Vacations, a part of the award-winning World Travel Holdings (WTH) network.
With their Dream Vacations franchise, Brenda and Javier now curate travel experiences for hundreds of loyal clients. From luxury cruises and all-inclusive escapes to multi-country adventures, they bring the same care and enthusiasm to every itinerary as they do for their own personal travels. Whether it’s a food and wine tour in Europe, a ladies wellness and connection retreat, or a fraternity reunion cruise in the Caribbean, their mission is simple: help others experience the world in the most meaningful and joyful way possible.
When asked what keeps them inspired, Brenda smiles and says, “It’s seeing the excitement in someone’s eyes when their dream trip comes to life. Travel changes people. It’s not just about checking places off a list — it’s about creating memories that shape who we are.”
For Brenda and Javier, this is more than a business — it’s a way of life. And for those looking to experience their own adventure of a lifetime, there’s no better team to guide the way.
