About Us
Changing Our Focus. Changing The World.
We are two women who were so fortunate to have met across tables in faraway destinations. It is our hope that by inviting you to our table, we will not just be building a better travel community, but a better global community. Conversations inspire, uplift and build hope. Discovering paths anew we will be engaging in the beauty and cultures around us while celebrating the laughter and the bonds between us.
Born from a crisis,
filled with hope.
CAZAVIA intends to change the travel mindset. As a signatory of The Future of Tourism Coalition we pledge to travel with the intention to preserve and regenerate destinations both environmentally and culturally.
We’re In It Together.
We have aligned with partners and organizations globally who have set themselves apart by committing to a better future.
