Hello, I’m Kizi N’Kodia — Founder and Lead Travel Advisor of Kizi Travel Experiences, where meaningful journeys meet effortless planning. I am also a FORA Certified and a member of the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA), bringing professional expertise to every journey I design.
My love for exploring the world has taken me across 29 countries throughout Africa, Asia, The Caribbean, The Middle East and Europe, each destination deepening my passion for culture, connection, and travel that transforms you from the inside out.
Before starting Kizi Travel Experiences, I spent years working in humanitarian aid and global health, managing multi-million-dollar procurements and traveling across the African continent. These experiences shaped the heart of my travel philosophy:
UPLIFT:
Make you feel better than when you arrived. Rested, recharged, expanded, or emotionally fulfilled.
IMMERSE:
Invite you into the culture, rhythms, and stories of a place, not keep you observing from the outside.
INSPIRE:
Spark curiosity, reflection, or a new way of learning and seeing the world (and yourself).
TRAVEL IS NOT JUST TO IMPRESS:
It leaves a lasting impact, one that stays with you for a lifetime.
My love for culture also found expression in the kitchen. In 2015, I launched a private chef service inspired by my African heritage, traveling across U.S. state lines to cater intimate dinners and personalized culinary events. This chapter deepened my belief that food is one of the most meaningful ways to honor tradition, build community, and understand a destination. This is woven into every journey I curate — from exploring local markets, and hidden eateries to highlighting culinary rituals that unite people.
Today, my mission is to design elevated, culturally rich itineraries that blend comfort and luxury with authenticity. Whether it’s a milestone celebration, a soul-stirring solo trip, or a group journey, every experience I build is crafted with intention, care, and a global perspective refined through years of living and working internationally.
From navigating markets in East Africa, to discovering hidden gems in Asia, to curating my first flagship group trip to Bali, I’ve learned that the most meaningful adventures come when travel is planned thoughtfully — and that’s exactly what I bring to every client I serve.
At Kizi Travel Experiences, you’re not just booking a trip:
You’re stepping into a journey designed to enrich, expand, and stay with you long after you return home.
