Meet the Founder
Born and raised in Long Island, New York, Deborah embarked on her first international trip in her early twenties, igniting a lifelong passion for travel and cultural exploration. This transformative experience opened her eyes to the beauty of the world and the enriching value of immersing oneself in diverse cultures.
As a devoted mother of four, Deborah cherished the opportunity to create lasting memories through family vacations and shared adventures. She quickly discovered that nothing fosters strong bonds more than experiencing the wonders of the world together with loved ones.
Beyond her love for travel itself, Deborah had also devolved a keen interest in meticulously planning and curating unique and extraordinary experiences for her close family and friends. As her children grew older and she found herself with more time on her hands, she decided to turn her passion into a profession, leading to the creation of Deborah Gellis Travel.
