Cabell Belk,
Travel Specialist
Cabell first experienced the thrill of the remote at age 14 when she accidentally spent a summer in rural Extremadura. She’s either been on the road or plotting her next adventure ever since. Cabell graduated from Princeton University in 2007 with a degree in English in Comparative Contexts. During a summer internship in Peru’s Sacred Valley, she fell hopelessly in love with Latin America and decided to study Spanish language literature in graduate school. After finishing her M.A. at the University of Virginia, she moved to Buenos Aires, where she worked at a boutique travel company and, out of pure necessity, became an expert on eating everything except steak.
