My World Travel

08/18/2024

Over the past 10 years we have planned somewhere around 1,000 trips (whether that be a quick domestic flight or a 40 person wedding trip to a Kenyan safari or a couple traveling the world to see all 18 penguin species) to 91 countries! Our success has ALL been because of word of mouth referrals - you all are the real MVPs and we love you so much!!!!! Our goal for the next 10 years can be to get the other 104 countries checked off. 🤗 Shout to , , , , , , and for your place on the planning, design, and/or support team over the years!! And to , , and for the biz partnership and being like coworkers to me.

For Friday’s event specifically, holy cowwwww do I have people to thank. I knew was the perfect venue from the get go because the vibes that Nicole and Kaitlyn create are unmatched. Inspired by yall constantly. THE COOKIES!! !! was the caterer and I got so many comments about how amazing it was (I agree based on the 5 bites I ate!) Upcoming amazing pics from . ((I didn’t have my phone all night so here’s a random assortment from setup!))

And then the most massive shout out to for taking control of the decor and design for the event! She’s not a professional event designer - she was a JCPS teacher for 12 years until now - but SHE SHOULD BE RIGHT?? She also let me borrow this insanely magical dress that she was gifted by a famous comedian ‼️ at a destination wedding who I probably shouldn’t just randomly tag in a post right? Anyway I love you Maja thank youuuu! (And thanks oops I did it)

And lastly, yall came together to donate $1,126 to and I’m sending that over today!! 😭👏🏼

Hello our favorite travelers!! Now would be a WONDERFUL time to get on our books for 2024! January is always wild (apparently there’s a name for this in the travel industry: “wave season”) and for the past few years we’ve had to pause accepting new clients or turn people away. 😣😅 So if you’ve got a plan in mind, we’d love to hear from you now so we can plan for our year ahead! We’re accepting trips for March and beyond and you can find our planning packages and fees on our website. Contact us via the link in our bio! ✈️🗺️🫶

We’re so excited to announce that My World Travel is offering two new annual student scholarships through the KIIS Program (Kentucky Institute for International Studies)! They will be awarded to students eager to study abroad but may not have the means to do so. KIIS is a non-profit, faculty-led study abroad program through 20+ Kentucky universities. Each program offers credits toward their degree and they have a choice of over 20 countries each year!
-
One scholarship will be offered toward a 6-credit course (usually a longer summer program), and the other toward a 3-credit course (shorter summer or winter programs).
-
Amy and I both studied abroad through the KIIS Program in 2009 and had an unforgettable, inspiring experience. I can't wait to help facilitate this experience for as many students as possible in the future.
-
Share with any Kentucky students you know! 🌍📚 You can find more information on the scholarships and participating universities here: https://www.kiis.org/students/finances/scholarships/
