We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Seasen Acevedo-zullo. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Seasen below.
Hi Seasen, really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose. How did you find your purpose?
Finding my purpose wasn’t a straightforward path—it emerged from a long journey through trauma, healing, and rediscovery. Surviving 9/11 derailed my life; I left college during my senior year and carried the weight of that day for years. Travel, something I had always loved, also became a major source of anxiety. Although I did travel during this period, I often needed medication to manage the anxiety that came with it.
Eventually, I found EMDR therapy, which helped shift my mindset from being a victim to feeling empowered. It was like a fog lifting, and I could finally reconnect with who I was at my core. Falling back in love with the magic of travel brought a part of me alive that had gone quiet for too long.
I had various careers in banking, sales, and real estate—none of them felt meaningful. But when I began planning trips as a side hustle, it was different. The feedback from clients was overwhelmingly positive, and I saw the impact of helping others create meaningful experiences. Each happy client gave me a boost of confidence. It didn’t take long to realize that this was more than just a hobby; it was my calling. The fulfillment and passion I felt showed me that this was where I was meant to be.
Now, travel is not just something I talk about or do for fun—it’s the way I bring joy, discovery, and healing to others. The fact that I get to do this as a career is a dream come true, and it gives my life a purpose I never thought I would find.
Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?

The joy of planning each trip, hearing the stories afterward, and knowing I’ve contributed to someone’s adventure keeps me inspired every day.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
The three powerhouse qualities that fuel my journey? Grit, Curiosity, and Empathy—they’re the driving force behind everything I do!
Grit: This is my rocket fuel! Grit has turned challenges—whether trauma recovery or building my business—into fuel for growth. It’s resilience and adaptability combined, giving me the strength to turn obstacles into stepping stones and keep leveling up. Every setback has only made me stronger and more determined.
Curiosity: My endless thirst for learning and discovery keeps me energized and constantly exploring—whether it’s finding fresh ideas, innovative solutions, or new corners of the world to experience. Curiosity fuels my passion for travel, pushing me to uncover possibilities that make each journey unique.
Empathy: This is at the heart of it all. Understanding each client’s dreams lets me create journeys that resonate. By seeing the world through their eyes, I can craft experiences that are unforgettable.
Together, grit, curiosity, and empathy have turned every challenge into a launchpad and every journey into an adventure. These qualities fuel my passion for crafting unforgettable experiences and building connections that go beyond travel. They keep me growing, innovating, and dreaming big. With each trip, each client, and each destination, I’m reminded that the journey is what truly matters—and I’m here for every incredible moment of it.
Tell us what your ideal client would be like?
My ideal client is someone who values personalized experiences and is open to discovering new places and cultures. They appreciate the details that make a trip truly special and are willing to share their preferences to help me craft an itinerary tailored to them. Ideal clients are also communicative and trust the process, allowing me to bring their travel dreams to life. They see travel not just as a getaway, but as an opportunity for meaningful experiences, growth, and connection.
