Jessica Oballo Travel Design, an independent affiliate of Departure Lounge
Austin, TX United States

My first real travel adventure came as a young college student to a summer study abroad in Oaxaca. I didn’t grow up in a traveling family, but I knew that there was a whole world to explore – I was always curious about different people, places and cultures. I believe that much of what we know about the world is what we have learned while traveling, there is no doubt that we grow when we get out of our comfort zone.

There is nothing like your first animal sighting on safari, visiting an elementary school in Kenya, sipping homemade hot chocolate in Oaxaca’s zocalo, listening to local music around the world or making connections with people you meet along the way. Visiting new places opens your eyes to different cultures, makes you a more informed citizen of the world and brings meaning to things you only read about in books.

Following a career with the Texas Senate and then raising a family, I joined Departure Lounge in 2017 to pursue my passion for travel. I feel very fortunate that I am able to curate special trips and experiences for my clients. Having a hand in their lifelong memories is a privilege. Not only do I love traveling with my family, but I recognize how travel promotes global citizens; satisfying their curiosity about the world, and builds a respect for different cultures and promotes understanding. And that passion is exactly why Jessica is just the person to tailor your next travel experience. So where will it be?
