I live by the Golden Rule.
Integrity comes standard. Fine print doesn't.Integrity, ethics, and the 'Golden Rule' guide everything I do. I believe in treating others with respect and honesty -- just as I'd expect when booking my own trips. That's why my vacations feature transparent pricing and meticulous details with no surprises.
Travel is about discovery -- not just of places, but of people and perspectives. I am committed to creating an environment where all families feel truly welcome on my trips, regardless of background, race, gender, sexual orientation, or beliefs. While our experience may differ, kindness and respect are universal.
What this means for you: every trip is planned with care, clarity, and respect. You won’t waste time sorting through confusing options, second-guessing hidden costs, or wondering who to call if something goes wrong. I’ve got you covered!

Kristin Umphries,Franchise Owner & Homeschool Travel Advisor
In our emails and social media posts, you'll notice we often use 'we' when referring to our company. (See? Like that!) Truth be told, when we say 'we', it's really just the business and I -- we're a team, like peanut butter and jelly, but with group contracts and the occasional Mountain Dew Code Red.
Hey there! I'm Kristin, the one-woman heart and mind behind this venture. Growing up in Rochester, NY to a travel agent mom and a firefighting dad, I was lucky to go on annual family vacations that sparked my love of exploring new places and cultures. Those trips taught me something important: the world is the best classroom. No textbook can compete with wandering ancient ruins, chasing waterfalls, or learning about cultures over a dinner table in a faraway city.
Homeschooling has been a natural extension of that philosophy. I believe learning can happen anywhere -- on trails, at museums, and yes, even on vacation. That belief inspired me to create WorldWise Homeschool Travel in 2024, combining my love of education with my love of travel. Since 2020, I've been able to focus on raising my son while my husband works, giving me true understanding of how homeschooling allows flexibility, creativity, and exploration -- even when life throws challenges your way.
My son has cystic fibrosis, which is a genetic condition that causes thick, sticky mucus to build up in the body, primarily affecting the lungs and digestive system. As a result, he requires daily vest and breathing treatments to clear mucus from his lungs, and he also takes pills before meals to aid in nutrient absorption. Homeschooling grants us the freedom to ensure he never misses out on learning.
Integrity, morals, and ethics are the foundation of both my personal life and business. I firmly believe in THE GOLDEN RULE — treating others as I would like to be treated. That's why our trips are packed with DETAILS GALORE and feature TRANSPARENT PRICING! Just as I expect honesty and clarity when booking tickets for events and vacations, I extend the same standard to you. I strive to create an environment that welcomes and respects everyone regardless of their background, race, gender, or sexual orientation. Travel has shown me that while we may not all have the same opinions, beliefs, or experiences, we can still be kind and respect one another.
