Our Travel Services

I’ve been incredibly lucky to have visited or lived in dozens of countries around the world. I love sharing my passion for experiencing different cultures and stunning landscapes with other curious travelers. In 2016, I founded my travel agency to do just that: Inspire World Travel. In my previous career in international public health, I planned trips for and accompanied VIPs to such far-flung places as Zambia, Bolivia and China. My clients are sophisticated and inquisitive. They’re interested in special experiences and creating lifelong memories. With my extensive network of top luxury travel partners, we create bespoke journeys that are anything but ordinary.
