I started Up in the Air Life because I felt there was a gap in the marketplace. A majority of the groups in the black travel movement, even today, are geared towards budget trips. After traveling all over the world I was searching for something more upscale. After a trip to Dubai where a friend of mine rented a private jet for us to soar over the city, I realized I wasn’t the only one interested in unique experiences while seeking the finer things in life. I created Up in the Air Life with a mission to “inspire, connect and grow.” We want every trip to be such a unique experience where our clients, who have historically been ignored in the travel space, feel deeply respected and special.

I’ve been curating trips since I was 17. As Senior class president I planned our senior trip for over 100 students to travel from Virginia to Six Flags in New Jersey; curating trips is in my DNA. I went to school for computer science and continued planning trips for friends in college. I joined an online travel group in 2008 In 2013 I wanted to start a travel blog and during this time I started planning a trip to Yacht Week and decided to create Up in the Air Life. We’ve started with one sailing trip for Yacht Week to offering over 20 trips around the world.

As my team says, We’re living that what? Up in the Air Life! OUR SUITE OF SERVICES
