ABOUT ME
Hi! I’m Chelsea Kaufman, your (hopefully) soon-to-be Travel Advisor.
-
My love for travel started early, with trips to Mexico and Hawaii with my family, and language immersion trips to France through my international school. That passion grew after studying abroad in Barcelona and backpacking throughout Europe. To date I’ve visited 29 countries across 6 continents (and counting).
Over time, I realized what I love about travel isn’t just traveling—it’s also planning (call me crazy!). I care about how a trip feels—the pacing, the flow, the details that make it all come together.
Before beginning my travel career, I worked in tech marketing. After going through a layoff in 2023, I took some time off to travel and recharge. In 2024, I began planning travel more intentionally for others, and in 2025, I made the decision to leave the corporate world and turn travel into my full-time career.
Today, I leverage my personal experience and industry expertise to book travel for my clients that elevates their experiences, saves them time and money, helps them avoid common missteps, and ensures they’re taken care of from start-to-finish.

I went to a French bilingual school growing up and used to be fluent, but now my Spanish is much better than my French.
I’m a cat mom of two. Fiji—one of my favorite places, and Goose—because he’s silly.
I was born and raised in San Francisco and I’ve lived in California my entire life, aside from a semester in Barcelona.
I went to UCLA—Go Bruins!
Before beginning my travel career I did product and customer marketing for Salesforce and then a small climate tech startup.
I’m a huge foodie—ask me about my favorite food destination!
