Hi, I’m Kayla
From a small town farm to international jet-setter, here’s the story of how I became the World Traveling Daughter:
As a little girl growing up on a farm in rural Tennessee, I never imagined I’d get the chance to travel the globe, let alone experience the joy of luxury accommodations, Michelin Star meals, or breathtaking views.
My first introduction to world travel came with my career. I spent 13 years in the medical device industry, traveling solo for work every couple weeks or so. I quickly learned the importance of quality in accommodations. Solo travel may have started as a routine, but it quickly became a revelation: I discovered myself climbing the ancient steps of the Acropolis, sipping champagne in a French Chateau, and falling in love with the picturesque sunsets of the Mediterranean Sea.
Before long, I’d fallen so deeply in love with exploring the world I could hardly think of anything else. World Traveling Daughter was born as a means to share my love—and knowledge—of luxury travel, to empower other women to get out there and discover themselves in some of the most beautiful, inspiring locations this world has to offer.
Every recommendation I make—for hotels, restaurants, and experiences—comes from my own personal experience. I’ve slept in the beds, assessed the views, and learned all the lessons (often the hard way) to be able to guide your travel with both expertise and insight. If you’re a woman looking to get out there and discover the world (and, perhaps, yourself), or you’re just looking for a fabulous, luxury vacation you’ll never forget, you’ve come to the right place.
What Sets My Advice Apart
Real Experience
My advice comes from years of experience—I only recommend places I’ve personally visited (or would book for myself).
Tailored to Women Travelers
I specialize in solo travel for women—all my recommendations come with that lens in mind.
More Than Just A Vacation
With a focus on boutique, luxury experiences, I only recommend stays guaranteed to be unforgettable.
You Deserve a Vacation You’ll Never Forget
To me, a place is luxurious if it makes you feel comfortable, inspired, and cared for; if it helps you wake up each day with the energy and enthusiasm to explore your surroundings with confidence; if you leave having learned something new and exciting about yourself.
Those are the bars I set before I make a recommendation for anything, from hotels to bars to excursions. When you work with me, you’ll step into your next adventure knowing full well that every detail was considered by a true expert with your needs and goals in mind.
