Your World, Beautifully Planned
Meet Keyla
I’m Keyla, the travel advisor who took the scenic route to get here — literally and figuratively.
For about five years, the idea of becoming a travel advisor sat quietly in the back of my mind. I loved travel, I loved planning travel, and I loved the logistics that make a trip feel effortless. But I also had a good job, a full life, and zero desire to “start over.” So the dream stayed tucked away… waiting for the right moment.
That moment arrived in a way I never expected.
During a 15‑week medical leave, life forced me to slow down — something I’m famously terrible at. I’m not built for sitting still, doing nothing, or watching the days drift by. I need purpose, creativity, and something that keeps my brain happily buzzing. And in that quiet space, I realized I needed something meaningful to carry with me into retirement, and I finally had the time to explore the dream I’d been putting off.
So I started learning new things.
I baked sourdough (because apparently that’s what you do when life hands you a pause).
I reflected on what I wanted my future to look like.
And I finally said, “Okay, let’s do this.”
That’s how Travel by Levy was born — not from a business plan, but from a moment of courage, curiosity, and the realization that I’m happiest when I’m helping people explore the world. Planning travel isn’t just something I enjoy… it’s something I’m meant to do. I love the research, the puzzle‑solving, and turning someone’s dream into a beautifully organized adventure.
When I’m not crafting itineraries, you’ll probably find me trying to learn golf. I’m a true beginner — the kind who celebrates when the ball goes straight and considers it a win when I remember all the steps at once. Golf is my humbling hobby, my fresh‑air classroom, and my reminder that learning something new can be equal parts hilarious and rewarding.
There’s also a part of my story rooted in love, loss, and the kind of strength that reshapes you. My brother was a Marine Corps helicopter pilot — brave, steady, and devoted to both his family and his service. We lost him in a helicopter crash during a routine training mission, a moment that changed my life forever. He left behind his pregnant wife and two small children, and watching them navigate life with resilience and grace is something I carry with me every day. The military holds a deeply special place in my heart because of him. His courage, his service, and his love for flying remind me to live with intention, to appreciate the journey, and to help others make memories with the people they love. It’s one of the quiet reasons I care so much about creating meaningful, joy‑filled travel experiences — because I know how precious time truly is.
Travel, beginner‑level golf, and sourdough might seem like an unexpected trio, but to me they’re all connected. They’re about joy, intention, patience, and embracing the journey as much as the destination. They’re also tied to the quiet truth that came with losing my brother — that life is fragile, time is precious, and the moments we create matter more than we realize. They’re the heart of who I am, and the energy I bring to every trip I plan.
Travel by Levy is where a long-held dream, a love for planning, and a spirit of learning come together. Whether you’re dreaming of a cruise, an all‑inclusive escape, a golf getaway, or a bucket‑list trip you’ve been imagining for years, I’m here to make it seamless, memorable, and uniquely yours.
This isn’t just my retirement plan — it’s my passion and my favorite adventure yet.
Let’s build something unforgettable, one perfectly planned detail at a time.
