Rodrigo Santana, Associate Market Manager based in São Paulo, Brazil, recently traveled to Paris, France with fellow Expedians for a memorable vacation! This trip brought together colleagues from four continents, with some meeting for the first time after years of remote collaboration. The group stayed at a Vrbo in the heart of the city and next to many charming restaurants, where they spent time connecting and taking in the beauty of Paris. “All I can remember is all the laughter and long conversations we had about how lucky we were to be brought together and how Expedia Group was the glue that made it possible. It was one for the books and we can’t wait for the next one!” #LifeAtExpediaGroup #EGoutofoffice
