Hola, I'm Celesté!
Born in Queens, NY and bred in Columbia, South Carolina, I am a city-country girl from the best of both worlds.
I proudly served in the US Army including a 1 year deployment in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
A born traveler and expat at heart, I have lived in 4 countries and relocated to Costa Rica during the pandemic to focus on veteran and mental health advocacy.
Inspired by a passion to help others taking a leap of faith, I founded Melanin Tours to help future expats find the best fit community that aligns with their budget, lifestyle, and preferences; explore authentic culture, and meet other local expats to ask questions and build community.
More About MeWhat clients are saying about us.
"Melanin Tours was absolutely instrumental when moving I and my family to Costa Rica from the Atlanta, Ga area! From finding schools for our children, to finding the area where we wanted to live, Celeste was there every step of the way as we made our way through the process of our move. We would not have been successful with this move without her."
