Meet Caroline Rose

We recently connected with Caroline Rose and have shared our conversation below.

Caroline, we’re thrilled to have you on our platform and we think there is so much folks can learn from you and your story. Something that matters deeply to us is living a life and leading a career filled with purpose and so let’s start by chatting about how you found your purpose.

I found my purpose through a combination of passion, experience, and the unwavering support of my family—especially my dad, who always encouraged my entrepreneurial spirit. Growing up, travel was a priority in my household. My parents instilled in me the belief that travel isn’t just about relaxation or adventure; it’s a way to learn, grow, and gain new perspectives. Of all the places I’ve been, Walt Disney World has always been my favorite, a place where I experienced some of my most cherished memories.

As I got older, I realized that my happiest moments were tied to exploring new places, planning trips, and helping others experience that same sense of wonder. After visiting over 18 new countries since college, I knew that travel was more than just a hobby—it was my calling. Becoming a travel agent allowed me to blend my love for travel with my entrepreneurial background, giving me the opportunity to help others create unforgettable experiences.

My purpose is to inspire and assist others in making travel a meaningful part of their lives, just as it has been for me. Whether it’s a Disney vacation or an international adventure, I want to help people see the world in a way that excites and enriches them. Looking back, everything I’ve done—my education in business, my love for storytelling through photography and videography, and my passion for meeting new people—has led me to this moment. My purpose found me through the experiences and values that have shaped my life, and I couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

I’m Caroline Rose, a travel agent, content creator, and passionate traveler dedicated to inspiring and assisting others in making their dream trips a reality. Travel has been a core part of my life since childhood, thanks to my parents, who prioritized experiences over things. That foundation led me to explore over 18 new countries since college, and ultimately, it inspired me to turn my passion into a profession.

Currently, I work full-time in management and marketing for a growing coffee company while also building my career as a travel expert. What excites me most about being a travel agent is the ability to craft unforgettable experiences for others—whether it’s a magical Disney vacation, a once-in-a-lifetime international adventure, or a customized itinerary that fits a traveler’s unique vision. I believe that travel is more than just a getaway; it’s a way to grow, learn, and create lasting memories.

Beyond travel planning, I’m focused on expanding my reach as a content creator, sharing travel insights, tips, and experiences through social media and storytelling. My goal is to provide inspiration and resources for travelers, helping them navigate the world with confidence and excitement.

Right now, I’m gearing up for an exciting trip in June to gather content, explore new destinations, and create valuable travel guides. I’m also working on building partnerships with travel and lifestyle brands that align with my vision. I’m thrilled about what’s ahead and can’t wait to continue sharing my passion for travel with others!

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

Looking back on my journey, I believe three key qualities have been the most impactful:

1. Personal Experience
Having firsthand travel experience has been invaluable in my career. By visiting numerous destinations, I can provide authentic recommendations, insider tips, and a deeper understanding of what makes a trip truly special. My advice for those just starting out is to immerse yourself in what you love—whether it’s travel, a business venture, or a creative field. Gain as much hands-on experience as possible, even if it means starting small. Every experience adds to your expertise.

2. Creative Leadership
Throughout my college and post-grad career, I’ve taken on various leadership roles that have helped me become more confident, organized, and strategic in my approach. Leadership isn’t just about managing people—it’s about understanding your strengths, recognizing areas for growth, and adapting to different situations. If you’re early in your journey, seek out leadership opportunities in any form, whether it’s leading a project, mentoring others, or stepping outside your comfort zone. The ability to take initiative and think strategically will set you apart.

3. Client Relations & Customer Service
Since my first job at 17, I’ve worked in customer service, and that experience has shaped the way I interact with clients today. Building relationships, understanding people’s needs, and delivering exceptional service are crucial skills in any industry. My advice? Focus on genuinely connecting with people. Listen more than you speak, anticipate their needs, and always strive to create a positive experience. Strong client relationships lead to trust, and trust leads to long-term success.

Beyond these three qualities, creativity has also played a big role in shaping my journey. Whether it’s through social media, trip planning, or content creation, I love finding new ways to bring ideas to life. My biggest tip for fostering creativity is to stay curious—explore new ideas, try different approaches, and never be afraid to think outside the box.

Ultimately, the best way to develop these skills is through experience, self-reflection, and continuous learning. Every challenge and opportunity contributes to growth, so embrace the journey and stay open to new possibilities!
