About Us
You’re curious. You’re open. You’re ready to elevate your travel to reflect your values.
The most unforgettable travels are those that foster deep human connections. Imagine soaring over pyramids in a hot air balloon with your partner, watching your child joyfully kick a ball with local children in a vibrant town square, or savoring a rare vintage brought out by a passionate winemaker from his personal collection.
These are the moments that transform a vacation into something truly extraordinary. Inspire World Travel works with you to create meaningful experiences that you'll cherish forever.
Your journey should be nothing short of exceptional.
Having inherited an incorrigible wanderlust from my father, I’ve lived abroad several times and traveled to over 65 countries. I founded Inspire World Travel in 2016 to share my passion for exploring our planet’s beautiful landscapes, cultures and wildlife with other travelers seeking authentic, memorable experiences.
My extensive firsthand travel experience allows me to craft unique, off-the-beaten-path itineraries with a personal touch. Special moments like sipping sundowners as the full moon rises over the African savanna or kayaking under a 2000-year-old aqueduct are the experiences that resonate deeply with a sense of adventure and desire for meaningful travel.
Before launching my boutique travel agency, I honed my skills in travel logistics and itinerary planning by organizing overseas study tours for VIPs–and accompanying them as the trip leader–in my previous career in the international health nonprofit world.
Inspire World Travel is an Independent Affiliate of Gateway Travel–a Virtuoso® Member, which means my clients benefit from my relationships with and access to the best of the best in luxury travel, along with tangible perks that elevate their experience. As an active member of Virtuoso’s Adventure and Sustainability Communities, I engage with colleagues on the latest in luxury adventure travel and how all of us who love to travel can do so more responsibly.
After hopscotching across the U.S. from California to DC to Austin to Los Angeles to Michigan (with a year-long interlude in Switzerland), I’ve happily settled in Athens, Georgia, with my husband and two sons.
