Why Bastrav
An advisor, not an agency
An agency processes bookings. An advisor knows you. We learn how you like to wake up on holiday, how much you want planned and how much you want to discover — then we curate around it. The trip is yours; we are the people who make it effortless.

Diana Basto
CEO & Founder · Certified Travel Advisor
“I don't just plan trips — I craft experiences.”
Travel has always been more than a passion for me: it is a way of life. I have travelled to more than 50 countries, immersing myself in different cultures and ways of living. As a pilot's wife, travel became part of my everyday world; as an HR professional, working with people taught me how to truly listen.
For more than 12 years I have planned every one of my own trips and my family's — from short getaways to complex international itineraries. Some of my most unforgettable moments have been in Asia: Nha Trang, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore left a lasting impression on me. Today I use all of that experience to design journeys that are personal, immersive and memorable.
Camila Basto
CMO & Founder · Airbus A320 Captain
“Travelling is one of the most beautiful ways to learn and connect.”
I am a commercial pilot and Airbus A320 captain with more than 14 years at Avianca, a business administrator, an athlete, a DJ and a passionate traveller. Flying taught me that the world is far more generous than it looks from the ground.
That passion for discovering the world is what inspired me to create Bastrav alongside my sister: designing authentic, memorable experiences filled with the thoughtful details that make every trip feel unique.
Testimonials
Travellers who trusted us with their time
Trip to Budapest
“Diana was super helpful with my recent booking to Budapest. She could get the same price as I could get on the Marriott website for a King river view room, but through her we got an upgrade to a suite and 2 breakfasts included, which was well worth it. Very easy to work with and super helpful. I will definitely be using her again!”
Nicola M.
Trip to Atlanta
“Diana found me the Hilton Hotel very close to the Fan Festival in Centennial Park, and conveniently close to the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, so I could walk there on match day. She was also very helpful finding an affordable air ticket. Overall I had an amazing World Cup experience thanks to Diana's reservations and accommodations.”
Cristian L.
Trip to Lisbon
“Diana was great! She helped me get a hotel and some tours on such short notice. She went above and beyond sending me information and planning my solo trip. The things to do that she suggested were right on point. She was very attentive and answered all my questions. Diana is 100% recommended!”
Naisha O.
Trip to Costa Rica
“Exceptional service from Diana. She listened carefully to our preferences and put together an itinerary that exceeded our expectations. Everything — from accommodations to activities and transportation — was organised seamlessly. Thanks to her expertise we were able to relax and fully enjoy our vacation without worrying about logistics.”
