I am Carmen Edelson, a full-time luxury travel influencer based in Fort Lauderdale.

Growing up, my family didn’t have the means to travel, and I was raised in New Jersey as a Cuban-American. It wasn’t until I took a last-minute trip to Spain to visit family in my early thirties that I developed a passion for travel.

Since then, I have been fortunate enough to visit some of the best luxury destinations in the world for work or with friends and family. I share my experiences on my website, CarmensLuxuryTravel.com, and across social media platforms, where I have built an audience of over 250,000 followers.

My community is made up of luxury travel enthusiasts, who are either hardworking professionals or retirees with the means to indulge in five-star vacations. They rely on me to find hidden gems, unique activities, and the best value for their money.

I have had the opportunity to work with various travel brands, including upscale hotels, gourmet restaurants, spas, tour companies, and tourism boards, to provide my readers with the best travel advice, entertainment, and inspiration.

If you appreciate the finer things in life, I hope you will find Carmen’s Luxury Travel to be a helpful resource for learning about the latest travel trends and maximizing your next five-star vacation.
