MEET THE TEAM

ROB MACIAS
Owner

I have been an outdoor and sports enthusiast all my life. In 2012 I was fortunate to combine my love for an active healthy life into a career that supports those values when I opened my company, Flow World Travel. I now get to share my love of travel with people from all over the world.

There is magic out there to be had and I promise you it’s not in the activities or the beautiful scenery. Those parts are just the vessel for which to deliver the true gold. When you open your heart and mind to the small details you’re absorbing, you might just come home with a renewed sense of self. You may grow. You may love harder. You may care deeper. Not only for yourself but for the world around you.

My hope is to touch as many hearts as I can and show others a better way to travel. I want you to see greater, feel deeper and slow down enough to notice when those opportunities to evolve are in front of you. See you in paradise my friend!

BRADEN BURTON Partner

Braden is an adrenaline seeking, calculated risk taker. He grew up in Baltimore, MD, and participated in all adventure sports. From skateboarding, surfing, snowboarding and motorcycling, he tried it all, and thrives on introducing people to the sports he loves. He is an accomplished mechanic and took his technical way of thinking to help launch Elevated Perspective Marketing in 2016 as the CFO. Since then, he helped grow Elevated to a multi million dollar company before stepping away to focus on his real passion, helping others experience adventure in the mountains. Braden hopes to elevate others to do more in their lifetime while increasing their ability to create an impact through his company in Crested Butte, Wheelies and Waves.

JESSICA CICHRA Guide Sayulita, Thailand, Australia

With an interest in helping people achieve mental wellness and physical fitness, I combined my background in psychology, personal  training, yoga and fitness, to instruct and design wellness programs through my company Wave of Wellness.  My love for adventure and travel inspired me to take my instruction abroad, teaching SUP Yoga and Bala Tula (yoga fusion) clinics around the world at SUP and yoga retreats.  I also love SUP racing and both compete in and direct paddle races in my home state of Florida.  My involvement and lifestyle in the SUP and yoga communities has led to many great opportunities as an ambassador and athlete for various companies, and also introduced me to FLOW.  I'm excited to instruct and guide future trips with a company that is aligned with my mission to empower people through adventurous activities that enhance all areas of well-being with a focus on travel, SUP, yoga, and community.

SUMMER WARD
Guide Sayulita, Panama

The two things in this world that have given me the greatest sense of connection and peace are yoga and the outdoors. Witnessing the inner and outer cycles of nature led me to refine my own practice and commit to sharing this healing connection with those willing to explore through my business, Seasons Of Summer. Whether that exploration is throughout the beautiful places and cultures within this world or the inner work necessary for personal transformation (or when we’re really lucky, both), my purpose on this planet is to serve you. Being a part of the Flow team allows me to do that in some of the most breath-taking places in the world!

Located in the Sacramento, CA area, I’ve been practicing yoga for almost two decades and teaching for 10 years. In addition to teaching on land, I also teach on the water with Stand Up Paddle boards and in the air with aerial yoga! My classes are intuitive with an emphasis on the breath, listening to your unique body and the cyclical patterns of nature. When not teaching, you can find me in my garden, hiking or camping, and traveling.
