Welcome To The Jaci's Lodges!

We are thrilled to announce that Paula Bilenky will be joining the Jaci's Lodges team as our new Brazilian representative.

Passionate about travelling to natural and exotic destinations, Paula was born and raised in São Paulo. She graduated in Tourism at PUC University before moving to New Zealand where she had the opportunity to travel each corner of the country, as well as the Australian east coast, before going back home.

With over 20 years of experience in the travel industry, Paula had the opportunity to develop unique products for an important tour operator in Brazil, training and educating some of the most important travel agents in the country and has attended several luxury travel trade shows abroad including Indaba and WAA.

Before founding Indômita Collection, she worked for a renowned representative and marketing company focused on unique, handpicked properties in east Africa, bringing new businesses into its portfolio and working on its development and growth through in person training sessions, hosted events, marketing content creation and brand management.

She went on countless trips throughout Brazil, and has visited over 20 different countries, including 3 times to South Africa, Tanzânia, Zimbabwe and Mauritius. She truly believes tourism is the most powerful tool for great connections, constructive transformations and positive social impacts.

With certifications in photography and travel journalism, she has a special taste for writing about travel and destinations. Apart from traveling, her other passions are acroyoga and flying trapeze, hobbies that she associates with overcoming limits, resilience and ability to deal with situations outside the comfort zone.

She are incredibly excited to welcome her to the team and are looking forward to this exciting new journey with her at our side.
