Allison Amini

I believe travel should do more than take you somewhere new - it should connect you more deeply to the world and to yourself. As the founder of Novel World Travel, I specialize in crafting personalized journeys rooted in cultural immersion, community connection, and a genuine respect for place.

My background as a software engineer taught me how to think strategically, plan thoughtfully, and solve complex problems with care. But my heart has always belonged to travel - specifically the kind that invites you to slow down, look closer, and experience a destination beyond the surface. That’s what led me to create a boutique travel agency where every itinerary is customized with intention and heart.

I work with curious travelers who value authenticity, expert guidance, and the richness that comes from stepping off the tourist trail. Whether it’s sharing a home-cooked meal in a quiet village, staying in locally owned eco-lodges, or exploring a city’s hidden corners with a private guide, I help my clients experience the world in a way that’s immersive, responsible, and unforgettable.

My promise is to make your travel planning feel effortless and your journey feel transformative. I take the time to understand your goals, your pace, your passions - and then bring it all to life with personalized recommendations, insider access, and seamless coordination every step of the way.

If you're seeking a travel experience that resonates long after you return home, I'd love to help you bring it to life.
