Her love for adventures, or "Adventuras," reflects her commitment to prioritize experiences over material possessions. Georgi lives in San Francisco and shares her life with her loving husband Roberto and three bicultural children, Sienna, Oliver, and Patrick, who bring joy and richness to her life every day.
