My Story
I specialize in complex group travel—milestone celebrations, multi-destination itineraries, and culturally intentional experiences—for clients who want everything handled seamlessly.
Whether it’s a 60th birthday across multiple cities in Portugal, a group cruise through Alaska, or coordinating travel for dozens of wedding guests arriving in Palma de Mallorca, I manage every detail, so the experience feels seamless from start to finish.
My approach is rooted in intention and precision. Group travel comes with moving parts—different arrival times, preferences, budgets, and expectations. I specialize in bringing all of those pieces together into one cohesive, well-executed experience where every guest feels considered.
I’m also the founder of Kiya & Co. Travel Design, where I create thoughtfully curated trips that allow clients to celebrate, connect, and be fully present—without the stress of managing logistics.
Travel Style
I design group travel that feels effortless—even when it’s complex behind the scenes.
My expertise includes:
Milestone Birthdays & Celebration Trips
Large Group Coordination (10–65+ travelers)
Multi-Destination Itineraries
Cruise Groups & All-Inclusive Resort Experiences
Culturally Immersive Travel, Including Afro-Diaspora Experiences
I’m especially known for:
Organizing Travel Across Multiple Cities or Countries
Managing Large Guest Lists with Ease
Creating Structured Yet Flexible Itineraries
Ensuring Every Traveler Feels Considered
If you’re planning a celebration that brings people together—whether it’s a birthday, group getaway, or cultural experience—I’ll handle the details so you can focus on the moment.

An Afro-Diaspora Immersion Guide to London
London is one of those cities I return to not just for what it shows you, but also for what it holds beneath the surface. As a Black woman, I experience this city through a deeper lens, shaped by the legacy of the Windrush generation and the stories of people like Olaudah Equiano who helped shape history here. This guide is an invitation to experience London beyond the highlights—to step into the neighborhoods, culture, and contributions that are often overlooked but deeply felt. Whether you share this identity or simply want to travel with more intention, there is something powerful about seeing the city this way.
