Emily loves helping people find great vacation spots. She does a lot with her travel agency such as retreats, vacations, etc. She started this travel agency for people of color to be motivate to travel to different countries. As Emily says "Don't Wait." ALL ABOUT EMILY: Been Around the World (BATW) Travels is a lifestyle travel agency, founded in 2018 by Emily Williams. For many years, Emily planned and hosted trips for family and friends in her spare time. As she coordinated their travels, she began to notice a lack of minority-owned travel agencies that catered to travelers of color. Her desire to fill that void led her to start her own company and, since 2018, BATW Travels has successfully curated many trips to several countries, including South Africa, Greece, Kenya, and Ghana. Being a traveling expert Emily

knows how to navigate travels. Emily has launched her company to ensure that travelers are well informed and also exposed to the best travel experience from beginning to end.

Emily has been traveling the world for the last 15 years. Her first trip was to Daytona, Florida with her family. Being in a different environment was a real thrill. It opened up her eyes and she wanted to explore the country and the world even more. In her travels the lack of diversity, which prompted her to start the company. Their wish is to expose people of color the world, one country at a time. Her favorite destination to date is a tossup between Paris and Nairobi. The metropolis in Nairobi rivals any major city. The safari and the beaches rival the Caribbean in Kenya. It’s the ultimate dream vacation.

The BATW Travels mission is simple: to inspire people of color to travel the world by curating epic adventures that cater to their unique interests. ABOUT BATW: At BATW, they believe that cooking up a dream vacation requires three ingredients: culture, fun, and relaxation. And, without these components, a “trip” just isn’t a “vacation”. The way they approach travel is what makes them different – they are proud that all BATW trips are “curated with you mind”. They know vacations are not one-size-fits-all, so they perform market research of our target audience and they take the time to listen and understand the needs and wants of their customers when planning their customized vacations. Their travelers quickly go from clients to family as they work together to create a travel experience that’s nothing short of amazing. They do it all for the love of vacationing, the desire to help their clients create magical memories, and because they stand behind their motto: we love, breathe, and live travel.
