About Kimberly Davis

Hi. I'm Kimberly Davis, the Founder and CEO of Trouvaille Travel International. The vision for Trouvaille as a conscious luxury travel brand was based on my two previous careers as a cultural anthropologist and as a mental healthcare consultant and coach.  I founded the company out of my passion in both of those careers for authentic human and cultural connection as a means to create both personal and global awareness. I witnessed the power of travel, and the wonder it can engender, as a means to push us outside of our comfort zones to create empowering, affirming and transformative experiences. I have stayed in $5/night hotels with bedbugs, and $5000/night hotels with butlers (mostly preferring the latter). I have hiked across the Andes, snorkeled with sharks in Belize, cooked curries in Sri Lanka, and been blessed by monks in Cambodia. Throughout all of those experiences and others, I found that stepping into an adventure with curiosity, compassion (for myself and others), and a little touch of fearlessness, allowed me to discover a whole other side to myself and the world that I often did not anticipate. In short, travel has allowed me not only to discover other places and people and cultures but also myself in the process. Will you join me on that journey? If you do, what will you discover?

Description:

This project is a meld of the work I have done throughout my life: as an anthropologist, as a mental health professional, and now as a travel designer. My goal is to help struggling families, with whom I have worked for the last 15 years, to use the power of travel and immersive cultural and ecological experiences, to find new ways to connect with themselves, each other and the world around them. My hope is that through these challenging experiences, crafted with care and intention as I have learned in this course, families and their members can begin to appreciate their place in the world as global citizens with shared empathy, and that can help translate to the way that they relate to each other
