I’m Kim - travel enthusiast, recovering overpacker, and owner of Globetrotter Travel. I’ve always loved exploring new destinations, but was bit HARD by the travel bug after my first international trip to Europe and have been passionate about travel ever since.
My last year of college was spent living in New Zealand and Australia, working for tourism companies and traveling as much as possible and the experience was life-changing. When I returned home to Michigan I graduated with my Bachelor’s from CMU in Tourism & Hospitality, and began working as a travel advisor.
I truly love helping others plan their dream trips, so Globetrotter Travel was born in April of 2015 and I’ve never looked back! Since that time, I’ve been fortunate to travel to some amazing destinations including Kenya, the Hawaiian Islands, Alaska, Mexico, China, Belize, Ireland, Uganda, Jamaica, South Africa, Spain, the Bahamas, Greece, Montenegro, Italy, Portugal, Germany, the Netherlands, Croatia, Brazil, the United Kingdom, Morocco, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and the Dominican Republic. I enjoy passing my own travel experiences on to my travelers and being able to recommend the best activities and accommodations for each individual trip.

Hi, I'm Danielle! I grew up in Mid-Michigan and later moved to South Florida for six years. In 2017, I had the incredible opportunity to serve as a camp host in Montana, which truly ignited my passion for adventure. When extensive travel wasn't possible in 2015-2017, I embraced cultural exchange by hosting foreign exchange students in my home.
My love for travel spilled over when I planned my own destination wedding in the beautiful foothills of the Smokey Mountains in Tennessee. My professional journey also includes several years in corporate marketing before I decided to fully dedicate myself to my love for travel and adventure.
Whether it's exploring the scenic highways of America, cruising through the majestic landscapes of Alaska, or basking in the tropical paradise of the Caribbean, I am committed to making your travel dreams a reality. As a dedicated travel advisor based in Michigan, I specialize in curating unforgettable travel experiences. With a focus on domestic road trip adventures and cruises. I bring a wealth of expertise and passion to every journey I plan.
Let's embark on your next adventure together!

Hello, I'm Stef St. John, a travel advisor at Globetrotter Travel, where my passion for exploration meets a deep-seated desire to inspire others to see the world. With over 25 years in the sales industry, I have worn many hats, primarily in healthcare. But my true journey began when I decided to start living for myself. As a single mom dedicated to building my brand in healthcare, my travel dreams were put on hold. However, after a difficult breakup and with my son becoming more independent, I made a pivotal decision to start saying YES to new opportunities. This shift transformed my life in ways I never imagined.
Thanks to Kim, I embarked on adventures I had only dreamed of. Together, we explored the breathtaking landscapes of Alaska, the enchanting Greek Isles, the rich history of Turkey, the romantic streets of Paris, and the vibrant culture of Amsterdam, among many other destinations. Kim, recognizing my reinspired passion for travel, invited me to join her as a travel advisor. This opportunity allowed me to merge my love for travel with my professional life, and I haven't looked back since. Today, I balance my career in healthcare with my thriving travel business, Stef St. John's Travel Guide, which I founded to encourage and inspire others to broaden their horizons and embrace the beauty of the world.
Traveling has become a way for me to savor life's culinary delights, as I strive to check off as many Michelin-starred restaurants as possible. Each journey is an opportunity to immerse myself in different cultures and relish unique flavors and experiences around the world. I look forward to helping you discover the magic of travel and create unforgettable experiences. Let's explore the world together!

I'm Christine - self proclaimed travel junkie, chronic over packer, and dog lover. I didn't always love to travel. In fact, our first trip (to Ireland and England) in 2012 did not result in me getting the "travel bug." We did bi-yearly trips to Europe over the next 5 years which included Scotland and Italy. It wasn't until 2017 when we had an epic two weeks in New Zealand that I was bitten. That vacation set the tone for the start of my travel addict adventures.
I'm born and raised in West Michigan which is where I completed two Bachelor's Degrees in Athletic Training and Health Science as well as my Master's Degree in Physician Assistant Studies. I've spent the last 14 years working inpatient as a PA. My time away, experiencing new places and new countries is what resets my soul. I travel as much as possible, as often as possible.
I've planned all of our trips and started curating trips with friends with great feedback. We have been truly blessed to have traveled to so many places which includes many international destinations across the Caribbean, Mexico, Dubai, Switzerland, France, Spain, Malta, Greece, South Africa, Canada and Thailand. I am very intentional about conservation and will do extensive research before booking activities with animals as the primary attraction. Traveling has become my passion. I've had the most amazing experiences and met some incredible humans along the way. As a travel advisor, this helps to create remarkable moments for others.
