Meet Grace...
That’s ME! I’m the owner of CoSo Travel and your travel advisor.
My first job in the tourism and hospitality industry was as a ride operator of the Saw Mill Log Flume at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey — I was 16 and I still consider it one of the best jobs I’ve ever had. Since then, I’ve worn many hats in the industry from event planner to tour manager, customer service agent to guest services manager, and now: travel advisor!
I started CoSo Travel for one reason: I’m passionate about planning travel. With over ten years of professional experience, I’ve worked with industry names including the International Monetary Fund, National Geographic Expeditions, Smithsonian Journeys, and more. My experiences give me a behind-the-scenes perspective on building your dream itinerary all while providing gold star customer service.
My Mission
When COVID-19 emerged in 2020, I watched as tour after tour cancelled and I wondered what would be on the other side? I had colleagues who left the industry for more stable jobs and, to be completely honest, I considered it too.
But at the same time, I saw how fragile the world was and instead of stepping away from the industry, I knew I wanted to dive deeper because I truly believe that tourism done well can be extremely beneficial for all. So, CoSo Travel was born.
By helping travelers in the step-by-step process of creating their dream journey, I hope to help others discover the world stress free while, most importantly, ensuring that their journey is also creating a positive impact on the destinations they’re visiting.
What's in a name?
CoSo is a portmanteau of my husband’s name (Cox) and my name (Soriano). When brainstorming, I knew I wanted to pay homage to both my families because of the important roles they’ve played in shaping my love of travel and adventure.
My husband has been my constant travel companion and has completely agreed to do any quality control for new itineraries. Since we started dating, we’ve been to Japan, the Philippines, Taiwan, Singapore, Spain, France, Norway, Greece and the Dominican Republic together!
On the other side of the coin, my immediate and extended family are the original adventurers in my life: immigrating to the US from the Philippines BEFORE the internet existed (whoa). Being a wayfarer has always been in my blood!
