About
Hi, I’m Kelsey Welsman — a Fora-certified travel advisor and founder of Waypoint Travel by Kelsey, where I help families and travelers of all ages explore the world thoughtfully, joyfully, and stress-free.
I’ve traveled to 35 countries across five continents, blending my background in international logistics and operations with a lifelong passion for discovering new places. From coordinating multi-country programs across Africa and the Middle East to planning smooth, multi-generational vacations with infants and grandparents in tow in Europe, I’ve learned that truly great travel comes down to thoughtful details and genuine care.
✈️ What I Do
At Waypoint, I design personalized itineraries for:
- Families — from ski trips to cultural immersion
- Seniors & retirees — curated itineraries to explore on your own to seamless guided and cruise travel
- Couples — romantic getaways, milestone celebrations, or just that much needed vacation
- Multi-generational groups — where everyone feels included
Whether it’s a European rail adventure, a Caribbean island escape, a national park road trip, or an African safari, I’ll craft a trip that fits your style, comfort, and budget—from charming local stays to five-star retreats.
💼 My Background
Before becoming a travel advisor, I spent 10 years managing global programs and logistics in countries including Iraq, Kenya, South Africa, Sudan, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. That work taught me how to navigate complexity, anticipate challenges, and deliver smooth travel experiences anywhere in the world.
From coordinating international relocations to helping teams evacuate during crises, I bring a level of foresight, professionalism, and calm that ensures your vacation runs effortlessly—no matter where you’re headed.
💬 Why I Started Waypoint Travel by Kelsey
After years of organizing travel for others—professionally and personally—I realized my greatest joy comes from helping people experience the world with ease and connection. Waypoint is my way of combining expert-level planning with heartfelt service, so every client can enjoy a trip that feels both inspiring and easy.
