With a knowledge and passion for worldwide travel, Carolyn Hunt-Gouairat founded Journeys Elite in January 2003.
Carolyn has travelled the world extensively for the last 32 years and has worked in the travel industry for a number of years, as an Expedition Leader with Exodus. Her work took her to many exciting destinations and she led trips throughout Europe, Russia, Turkey, Central America, and North Africa. Her concept was for a bespoke Travel Company offering itineraries that are rich in culture, history and natural beauty, bearing the sense of adventure that travel brings.
