Meet the Team
Kim Hooker
Founder & Travel Advisor
I have been traveling my entire life, starting at age 13 when my parents took our family on the Grand Tour of Europe – 5 countries in 5 weeks! I have been traveling the world ever since. I have been to 6 of the 7 continents (Antarctica, your next on my list!), and studied in Florence, Italy while I was a student at UC Berkeley. After a career in sales and marketing (and raising my 2 kids), I realized that I wanted to focus more on my passion – travel! I have turned my hobby of exploring new places and creating itineraries for my family and friends into a business. I am very excited to share my passion for travel with my clients. Traveling to different countries and experiencing different cultures is an incredibly enlightening and enriching experience. Creating life-long memoires for my clients is my greatest goal!
