The Beginning of a Beautiful Journey

I can hardly believe I’m writing this.

Starting Ubuntu & Beyond Travel has been both exhilarating and absolutely terrifying. For quite some time, travel has been more than just a passion—it's been a calling. And now, I’m answering it in the biggest way I ever have: by launching my very own travel advising and planning business.

There’s something incredibly vulnerable about stepping into a dream you’ve held for so long. It’s thrilling, yes—but also deeply humbling. I’m building something from the ground up, with heart, vision, and the hope that it will speak to people who crave more than just vacations. People like you—who seek transformation, connection, and meaning in every journey.

Ubuntu & Beyond Travel isn’t just a business. It’s a philosophy.

The word Ubuntu comes from Southern Africa and speaks to our shared humanity: “I am because we are.” It’s the belief that we are all connected—that your joy is my joy, and your journey enriches us all. That’s the spirit I’m bringing to every itinerary, every destination, every experience I curate.

Whether it’s your first trip abroad or your tenth adventure around the world, I would be honored to help you craft a journey that goes deeper than the typical tourist trail. One that feeds your soul, celebrates culture, and makes you feel fully alive.

So here I am—excited, nervous, and completely ready to help you dream big. Let’s go beyond the bucket list. Let’s explore with intention. Let’s create travel that journeys far. Let’s discover the world while you discover yourself.

Thank you for being here at the beginning. The best is yet to come.

With love and gratitude,
Baylee
Founder, Ubuntu & Beyond
