Charlotte Barillier
Co-owner + Travel Designer
Charlotte’s love for travel started young, but was ignited in her college years. After visiting friends in Paris and Barcelona, she decided to get more travel experiences under her belt and embarked on a summer long adventure at sea. Following college, she packed up and moved to Dublin, Ireland. It was here that she got her first experience in the travel industry, working for a hotel in the city. By the end of her time in Dublin, at only 22-years-old, she had been to thirteen countries in Europe.
When she returned to California, Charlotte was certain about one thing. She wanted to plan trips for people. She started working for a luxury tour operator, specializing in Africa and the Middle East. Her love for safari was immediate and has not waivered since. She continued to work at an entertainment travel agency, where she gained experience planning leisure travel for celebrities, c-level executives and other high net worth individuals.
In 2016, Charlotte launched Roam Travel Company to bring more personalization and creative to the industry. Her well established connections abroad allow her to pursue her passion… crafting curated experiences for her clients. From full wedding ceremonies in the African bush to heritage research by renowned genealogists in Ireland to private name readings by Kabbalistic leaders in Israel, the possibilities are endless. Early in her travel career, a colleague told her, “In this day and age, luxury is defined by exclusivity.” This idea not only shapes how she plans her itineraries but has become her philosophy.
Today, Charlotte lives, works and plays in Los Angeles, California. She loves doing yoga, spending time with friends and volunteering at her local dog rescue. She travels internationally multiple times a year to gain knowledge, attends luxury travel trade shows and lives abroad for periods when she can. She loves what she does (of course!) and is endlessly grateful for all the experiences and people it brings into her life – from incredible clients to her amazing business partner, Kait!

Kait morgan
Co-owner + travel designer
At 23, Kait packed up her life on the east coast and moved to Chiang Mai, Thailand—a decision which ignited her passion for all things travel. Her innate need to be on the move combined with her infectious enthusiasm for life drove her to find a career in the travel industry.
Kait felt she found her calling when she landed her first job at a boutique hotel representation firm in 2010. Since then, she has promoted some of the world’s most inspired travel experiences including top hotels and award-winning safari lodges. It was in 2016 after returning from living in Australia, when Kait met Charlotte and the two traveled together to Vietnam. Needless to say, the two hit it off and from there it was history!
Throughout the past decade, Kait has experienced countless properties and has formed relationships with the industry’s top influencers, expanding her network while continuing to develop her knowledge on the up-and-coming trends in travel. The thrill of finding the most unique experiences for her clients motivates her in her role as co-owner and travel planner at Roam Travel Company.
Kait enjoys hot yoga, being anywhere in nature, reading, and a good IPA. When not abroad, you can find Kait at home by the beach in Belmar, NJ with her husband, daughter and tripawd pup, Jordi.
