OUR STORY

Lydia Richardson
Founder and Chief Travel Curator
Growing up, we didn't take many family vacations, but my mother and I would take mini trips all the time. She was a seamstress, amongst other things, so most times we were in search of fabric or patterns, but that didn't matter to me. Anytime I heard, "Lydia, let's go" I would grab my shoes and get ready to embark on yet another journey. Being on the go and traveling became a part of my DNA.
​
Unfortunately, I lost my mother in 2005. In an effort to keep her alive, I birthed The Traveling Jean on the 15th anniversary of her being gone, to bring a new meaning to that day while honoring two things I love dearly: traveling and my mother.
​
The Traveling Jean is built on a strong foundation of professionalism, integrity, and transparency in order to:
-
Provide individualized, world-class service;
-
Impart travel knowledge to enrich lives;
-
Serve as a travel companion who instills confidence and reduces the pressures of first-time travels;
-
Build long-lasting relationships with clients and partners; and
-
Deliver praiseworthy, excellent service during every encounter.
