Biography

Kim Orlando, founder of SheBuysTravel, is a lifelong traveler, an entrepreneur and a sought-after social media and marketing consultant. She has made hundreds of appearances on TV and in digital and print media, sharing advice and tips built on decades of travel experiences. Hailing from the hills of Kentucky and taking her story to New York, Los Angeles, and beyond, Kim built SheBuysTravel for women with a spirit of adventure. Kim has been featured on “Good Day LA," "News Nation,” “Today,” “Good Morning America” and on numerous satellite media tours. She has contributed travel guidance to outlets including The Washington Post, Good Housekeeping, Forbes, the Wall Street Journal and more. Her travel mantra is simple: All travel counts. “You don’t have to go far. Leaving home is travel,” Kim says. “Wherever you go, even just to the next town over, you can learn something new, see someone and something you haven’t seen before. It’s good for the brain and good for the soul.” Millions of readers have visited SheBuysTravel for trip planning help, travel secrets, destination information and gear recommendations. What sets SheBuysTravel’s content apart, Kim says, is its foundation in real-world experience. “Our writers and editors have actually gone out there and done this stuff,” she says. “They’ve booked the flights, tried the tour, tested travel clothing, visited that new hot spot to see if it’s worth the hype. It’s all real.” Kim, a graduate of the University of Arizona’s Eller College of Management, holds degrees in finance and entrepreneurship. In her free time, Kim enjoys visiting her adult kids, creating trips for small groups and exploring the world.
