Behind the scenes…
Founded by Carlee Flanagan, Camino Consulting is built on over half a decade of industry experience and trusted relationships developed at one of the nation’s leading PR firms. Carlee’s passion lies in uncovering and sharing the stories of hidden gems — intimate, independently owned hotels, distinctive destinations, properties with a special connection to the local community, and those unforgettable places that stay with you long after you return home.
After taking a short break from agency life to travel through Central and South America, Carlee has since set down roots in Nicaragua, bringing a renewed sense of purpose and a critical global mindset to her work. With an adventure-forward spirit, she believes the best stories are found off the beaten path — from staying with Indigenous communities in Panamá to leading journalists through surf breaks in Costa Rica or jungles by ATV — all to spotlight what makes a place and its people truly special.
Where her stories
have been told…
Carlee’s genuine enthusiasm for the travel industry and a thoughtful approach ensure results that are both authentic and impactful. From leading storytelling strategies for luxury brands like Alila Ventana Big Sur, The Cloudveil, The Ritz-Carlton Turtle Bay, Silvestre Nosara, and more, to unveiling impressive sustainable tourism efforts from Visit Panamá, Carlee has refined her PR expertise across some of the industry’s most coveted hospitality names.
Media highlights include securing national and regional coverage that moves the needle — with standout awards such as TIME’s World’s Greatest Places, Condé Nast Traveler’s Bright Ideas, and Travel + Leisure’s It List, along with consistent placements in outlets like Vogue, Robb Report, Goop, and Condé Nast Traveler.
