meet amina, Founder of perspectives travel

Detail obsessed, cocktail enthusiast, frequent flier since ‘82.

Oh hello! I’m Amina, the founder and owner of Perspectives Travel. I'm a New Yorker by birth, New Orleanian by choice, Hampton University grad, and Tulane MBA. I got started in the travel industry in 2019 after running sales and marketing departments for major luxury brands in beauty, fashion, and accessories. I have the privilege of being affiliated with SmartFlyer and Virtuoso, two of the most prestigious companies in the travel world, which enables me to get my clients all of the VIP perks that they deserve.

In my free time you'll find me walking two of the cutest short leg Jack Russells ever, mixing cocktails with my husband Matt, and organizing, decorating, and chasing my son all around my New Orleans home. I'm an avid reader, french fry connoisseur, and of course I love to travel the world and find experiences that are unique to each destination.

ABOUT PERSPECTIVES TRAVEL

I’m the best at what I do because when it comes to travel my expectations are even higher than my clients’. I set the bar high and I work with partners who can deliver the best in access, service, and experiences. 

So, how do we make your travel dream a reality?

  • DETAILS ARE EVERYTHING- We understand that it’s the minor details that create major memories.

  • THIS IS A SERVICE BUSINESS, SO WE PROVIDE EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE- Advising, serving, and advocating for our clients is our duty before, during, and after their travels. 

  • UNIQUE ACCESS TO THE PLACES THAT EVEN GOOGLE CAN’T FIND- Nothing that we do is copy and paste. We believe that “needle in a haystack” travel experiences should be the norm and not the exception. 

  • CULTURAL APPRECIATION IS THE BEST PERK OF TRAVEL- Seeing a destination through the eyes of locals is a privilege, respecting the culture and traditions of a destination is a necessity.

  • PERSONALIZED LUXURY IS THE MUST HAVE TRAVEL ACCESSORY- We believe that luxury, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder and can be as extravagant or as simple as you want.
