Mission

Soul Flight is a contemporary travel agency committed to fostering adventure, self-discovery, human connections, and cultural immersion through travel.

Our aim is to curate transformative, off-the-beaten-path experiences that leave a profound and enduring impact on both our inner and outer worlds.

Woman Behind the Mission:

Soul Flight began as a blog created by Welmis Gutierrez, with a mission to inspire the BIPOC community to travel the world and push beyond their comfort zone.

Since then, she’s traveled to 16+ countries, many of them solo, including Brazil, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Germany, and Italy. With every experience and every opportunity to face fear, she has grown closer to herself.

Having struggled with bipolar disorder, Welmis is a mental health advocate that teaches us the ways in which traveling and mindfulness can come together.

  • We want to show people how to get more out of their travel experiences. The average person has these setbacks when it comes to travel:

    • Skipping the trip altogether because of the overwhelming planning process

    • Traveling with unrealistic expectations based on Social Media = a generic and disconnected experience

    • Lack of a curated and personalized experience. You bring home fleeting joy instead of a lasting impact.

  • Every decision we make stems from these core values:

    1. Ethical Travel - We are conscious of how our actions affect the people, animals, environments, and ecosystems, of the places we visit.

    2. Inclusivity and Representation - We seek to create more representation in the travel media space, and ultimately in programs like Study Abroad.

    3. Kindness - We are conscious of our energy and how we approach the world around us. We treat ourselves and others with respect in virtual and real-life spaces.

    4. Transparency - Honesty is in our DNA. Since Soul Flight’s inception as a travel blog in 2016, founder Welmis Gutierrez has approached her audience openly, sharing more than just the picturesque. We are committed to honesty in our relationships with our clients and those we work with.
