My story
Born in Saint Lucia, shaped by the Caribbean.
My name is Kelly Fontenelle and I’ll be your host together with some of my wonderful friends in the travel industry.
I began my travel and tourism career more than 28 years ago. Growing up in the Caribbean meant I could visit many destinations and experience firsthand how every island has its own history, culture, cooking traditions and way of life.
What I look for
The little details travelers remember.
Local places
Mom-and-pop restaurants, markets, scenic stops and neighborhood favorites.
Culture & history
The stories that explain why each destination feels different.
Right-fit travel
Helping travelers connect with destinations, hotels and experiences that truly suit them.
Family travel
Traveling with my sunshine.
I’m a single mom with a non-verbal autistic son, and I love traveling with him. He is wonderful company, enjoys trying new foods and reminds me to look at travel through a different lens.
That experience inspires me to pay attention to comfort, pace, sensory needs, fun activities and the small practical details that can make a family trip feel easier.
“I am a big advocate for travel consultants. The right advisor can qualify each client with the right destination and hotel — and turn a bucket-list holiday into a lasting memory.”
