KIM BARBER - GLOBETROTTER TRAVEL

Kim’s passion for travel began during her first multi-country European adventure in high school. That experience sparked a desire to build a career in the travel industry, leading her to earn a BA in Tourism, Hospitality, and Event Management from Central Michigan University. Kim’s professional journey began as a Campus Manager for EF College Break, and soon expanded internationally with internships for tour companies in New Zealand and Australia. She later worked at a retail travel agency in Michigan, and in 2015, Kim took a leap and founded Globetrotter Travel, specializing in once-in-a-lifetime bucket list trips and curated group travel experiences. Over the past decade, she has watched her business flourish and grow.  Some of Kim’s most memorable travel experiences include Zimbabwe, Kenya, Australia, New Zealand, Australia, Vietnam, Brazil, and Norway—places that have left a profound impact on her.  When she’s not planning epic adventures for her clients, Kim enjoys quality time with her husband and two children.
