Who I Am
Your Travel Expert
My name is Edgar Barba and I grew up in Santa Barbara. Like most people who grow up in paradise, I had no idea of the wonders and beauty outside our bubble. While I was in high school, I had the opportunity to go on a guided trip to the South Pacific. Going on that trip changed my life, by showing me that even though Santa Barbara/Goleta were the perfect places to live, we are but a small piece of a bigger, diverse, connected puzzle.
I have 21 years of travel experience in 56 countries across 6 continents. I decided to create Goodland Travel to help inspire our local youth in our community to venture out and experience the world with confidence. Although we know the 805 is amazing, travelling outside of it changed my life. Let me help you change yours.
