Meet the Founder
My personal travel journey expands to over 40 countries, across 6 continents and throughout the U.S. I’ve slept under the stars in Utah right outside of Zion National Park, climbed the Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia, backpacked across the Uyuni Salt Flats in Bolivia and had dinner in the Sky overlooking Dubai. Travel has always been more than a vacation for me. It’s connection, culture, growth, and life long memories.
When I officially entered the industry, 2019, I did not treat it casually. I invested in myself. I hired coaches, attended conferences, and participated in Familiarization(FAM) trips. I studied supplier systems and business strategy because I wanted to build something sustainable, not temporary.
Over the years, I have worked with hundreds of clients and navigated the real realities of this industry. From global shutdowns, to unruly clients, last minute changes/ emergencies, and the unpredictable nature of travel, this industry has taught me multiple lessons. Loving travel is not enough! Running a travel business requires structure, professionalism, and accountability. The global pandemic had me wanting to throw it all in and shut down my agency. As I continued to travel, I realized I found something special in the mist of that storm; Pure Joy! That joy is what pushed me to keep sharing my passion and knowledge of travel.

Travel Advisor / Agency Owner
The Vision
Globetrotting Society was not created overnight.
After years of growing my original agency , attending conferences, investing in coaching, participating in FAM trips, and learning from both successes and mistakes, I realized something important. Many new advisors enter this industry excited but unsupported. They are handed logins without guidance. They are promised high commission splits without systems. They are encouraged to sell without being taught how to build sustainably. This just didn’t sit right with me.
Globetrotting Society is intentionally boutique. We are not trying to house hundreds of advisors with no connection. We are building a community of motivated individuals who want structure, mentorship, and long term growth.
We are IATA accredited, affiliated with Travel Leaders Consortium, and the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA), giving our advisors access to national level buying power while still operating within a close, supportive environment.
Here, advisors operate under their own brand names. Our role is to provide the structure, systems, and mentorship. If you are serious about building your travel business the right way, you will feel at home here.
