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 about connection, culture, growth, and creating lifelong 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. But somewhere in the midst of that storm, I rediscovered what brought me here in the first place: pure joy. The joy of exploring the world. The joy of creating experiences for others. And eventually, the joy of sharing what I've learned with other travel advisors.
That joy became part of the foundation for what Globetrotting Society is today.

The Vision
I know what it feels like to figure this out on your own, and I built this agency to give advisors the support I wish I had starting out. Many travel advisors enter this industry excited and ready to build, but quickly become overwhelmed. They're given supplier logins without direction, commission structures without business systems, and access to countless resources without knowing where to begin.
Globetrotting Society was created to offer something different. Our goal is to help independent travel advisors build sustainable businesses with the right combination of structure, education, mentorship, and community, without losing the independence to build a brand of their own.
Here, advisors operate under their own business names while gaining the systems, industry relationships, resources, and support of a host agency behind them.
We're intentionally building a boutique community where advisors can learn, grow, collaborate, and receive personalized guidance along the way.
If you're serious about building your travel business with intention, you'll feel at home here.
