EXCLUSIVE FAMS co-Managers

KIM BARBER - GLOBETROTTER TRAVEL

Kim has always enjoyed traveling domestically, but really caught the travel bug when she was 17 during a trip through 7 European countries. After that trip, she knew she wanted to pursue a career in the Travel Industry and earned her BA in Tourism, Hospitality, and Event Management from Central Michigan University. Kim's professional life in tourism started as a Campus Manager with EF College Break and since then she's gained valuable experience working for a tour company in the North Island of New Zealand, a tourism and economic development corporation in Queensland Australia, and a storefront travel agency in Michigan. Kim started working in travel in 2009 and has become increasingly passionate about the industry since then. In 2015 she launched Globetrotter Travel - an independent agency focusing on once-in-a-lifetime bucket list trips and group travel and she's loved seeing the growth over the past 6 years. In addition to her current role as Travel Consultant, she also represents Delta and United Airlines part-time in her local airport. Some of Kim's favorite trips in recent years include Zimbabwe, Brazil, Greece, Kenya, Spain, Uganda, Australia, Italy, and South Africa. When she's not traveling or planning her next trip, Kim enjoys volunteering, crafting, kayaking, and baking.
