An open letter

Thank you, Mom and Dad

Everything I am started long before my first cruise, long before my first team. It started at home, with you.

Jorge Torres Culla with his parents in Alaska
With my parents in Alaska. Of all the destinations, the best one is still sharing them with you.

Some debts can’t be repaid with money. The one I owe you is one of them.

You gave me the hardest things to give: time, patience and example. You taught me that things are earned through work, that your word is worth more than any contract, and that you can go far without stepping on anyone. That kind of upbringing isn’t taught at any university. You absorb it at home, day after day, watching you get up every morning without complaining and without ever neglecting what mattered.

You never gave me everything I wanted. You gave me something much better: everything I needed to get it on my own.

When I decided to dedicate myself to this, many people didn’t understand it. You didn’t at first either, and yet you supported me. You trusted me when there were no results to show, just a son with an idea and a lot of drive. That vote of confidence is worth more than any recognition I’ve ever received on a stage.

I’ve lived all of this thanks to you

Your son’s journey, step by step. Every stage carries your mark.

Valencia · Childhood

A home where you learned by living

You raised me with the essentials firmly in place: love, discipline and the certainty that there would always be a place for me at home. That’s where everything else took root.

Education

Graduate in International Business

You pushed me to study, to look beyond our street, to be curious about the world. Without knowing it, you were preparing me to travel it.

2012 · The first leap

I start in direct sales

A path few people understood. You gave me what I needed most: nobody at home clipped my wings. Your trust was my first capital.

June 2016 · The decision

I join InCruises

I found the place to plant my flag for life. The consistency I’ve applied since day one wasn’t learned in any course: I learned it by watching you.

Recognition

Premier Ambassador Board of Director

The company’s founders have recognized me on stage. But every round of applause I receive up there is really meant for you.

The world

22 cruises · 46 countries

The boy from Valencia has seen half the planet. And in every port, in every new city, always the same thought: “I owe this to you.”

The best trip

Alaska, with the two of you

Of all the destinations, this is the one I keep in my heart: being able to sit you down on that ship and tell you, without words, “look what we built together.”

The man he became, thanks to you.

What I took from home

Three legacies worth more than any fortune.

01

Hard work

You taught me that nothing good comes without working for it. That consistency beats talent when talent isn’t consistent. Nine years later, I still apply that lesson every day.

02

Honesty

From you I learned to speak plainly, not to promise what I can’t deliver and to treat people the way I’d like to be treated. No hype. Just like at home.

03

Unconditional love

You were there for the hard beginnings and for the big moments. No conditions, never asking for anything in return. That safety net gave me the courage to dare to fly.

And now it’s my turn

For years, you gave and I received. The time has come to turn that around. Not as a debt being settled, because this can never be settled, but as the greatest privilege of my life: to take care of those who took care of me.

More trips togetherAlaska was the first of many. I want you to see with me the corners of the world you’ve given me without even knowing it.
More timeWhat you gave me as a child, I give back to you now: presence, phone calls, meals together and always being there, for whatever you need.
Your peace of mindThat you never lack for anything, and that you can enjoy this stage of life with the same peace you gave me my whole life.

This page is for you

I’ve traveled to 46 countries and taken 22 cruises, but my best journey began in Valencia, at home, with the two of you.

Everything I build carries your invisible signature.

With love, your son — Jorge
