Who We Are
Why We Exist
Travana is the anti-Airbnb:
curated, intentional, beautiful — never generic.
The world doesn’t need another generic Airbnb with gray sofas and Amazon wall art.
Travana exists to set a new standard.
Every home in our portfolio is intentionally selected, designed, and operated to deliver emotional resonance… not just “a place to sleep.”
This is luxury hospitality — done right — and never outsourced.
Our Story
Travana is founded by Chandler & Catherinne.
We started at the bottom — cleaning homes, learning operations from the inside, seeing every mistake + every missed detail in the STR world.
We did the work no one sees.
Today, that obsession with excellence is the backbone of Travana.
We design our own properties.
We operate with our own teams.
We control every detail — end to end.
Travana is the evolution of all those reps, all that operational depth, and a belief that short-term rentals can be truly beautiful, curated, emotional experiences.
A graduate of the University of Miami with a degree in Marketing, Chandler blends creativity with strategy to redefine what modern hospitality can be. His early experience in the art and design world sharpened his eye for aesthetics and taught him how to make any brand stand out — lessons that continue to shape every Travana property.
What began as a single short-term rental with zero experience quickly became a passion. Through dedication, design innovation, and an obsession with guest experience, Chandler turned that first home into a top-1% performer in its market — and discovered his calling in hospitality.
Today, he personally analyzes, acquires, and designs new properties each year, identifying investments with the highest potential for both profit and guest satisfaction. Rooted in Fort Lauderdale but inspired by the world, Chandler continues to push boundaries in hospitality — blending data, design, and heart to create extraordinary places to stay.
Born in Colombia and raised in Fort Lauderdale, Catherinne brings an exceptional blend of artistry, precision, and passion to Travana. What began as a hands-on approach to property care has evolved into a signature design philosophy — one that transforms every home into an unforgettable experience.
Her journey began with a specialized cleaning and staging company, where she mastered the details that define true hospitality. That foundation shaped her eye for how spaces live, breathe, and welcome guests. Today, she leads Travana’s creative direction, curating interiors that balance comfort, texture, and emotion — from microcement finishes and custom murals to lighting that tells a story.
As a licensed real estate agent, Catherinne brings insight into what makes a property perform — both aesthetically and financially. With her refined taste and unwavering commitment to excellence, she ensures every Travana property embodies the perfect harmony of design, function, and feeling.
