If adventures will not befall a young lady in her own village, she must seek them abroad.

Jane Austen

A better quote couldn’t be found for Tesoro Travels founder Kim Cochrane, who fell in love with travel at the young age of 16 when she was an exchange student in Salzburg, Austria. Travel became about the new experiences, the food, the people and eventually, the wine!

Kim has worked in the travel industry in various capacities since she returned from her year abroad. From her role as part-time assistant for a travel agent to multiple roles in the cruise industry, she founded Tesoro Travel in 2007. Introducing her clients to world travel has long been her passion. Kim strives for her clients to experience the world and different cultures with eyes wide open to new adventures, be they on land, on the rivers of the world, or aboard a luxury ocean vessel.

Pam Nobles is a lifelong travel enthusiast with a deep love for international adventures, cruising, and the magic of discovering new cities on foot. Her journeys have taken her across continents, from the cobblestone streets of Europe to the sun-drenched coastlines of the Mediterranean, always guided by a spirit of curiosity and wonder.

Cruising holds a special place in Pam’s heart—not just for the comfort and luxury of the journey, but for the unique opportunity it provides to experience multiple destinations in one seamless adventure. She especially treasures river cruises, where smaller ships glide through historic waterways, offering an intimate glimpse into the culture, cuisine, and charm of regions like the Rhine, Danube, and Seine.

What truly sets Pam apart is her love of exploring cities on foot. She believes that walking allows travelers to absorb the rhythm of a place—to stumble upon hidden gems, engage with locals, and truly understand a city’s soul. Whether it’s sipping espresso in a quiet Roman piazza or getting lost in the vibrant alleys of Lisbon, Pam thrives on these up-close, unscripted experiences.

Now, Pam is eager to share her excitement for travel with others. Her mission is to inspire and guide fellow explorers—whether they’re seasoned globetrotters or first-time travelers—so they, too, can experience the joy, growth, and unforgettable memories that come from seeing the world. Through storytelling, planning advice, and personal insights, Pam brings travel to life with warmth, enthusiasm, and a contagious sense of adventure.
