ABOUT US
Bonjour, I’m Vanessa
In a nutshell: I am French, live in London, have three children, love to share, love pretty things, love travel.
I was raised between France and North Africa, and later lived in Madrid, Caracas, Boston, Sao Paulo, New York… then finally London, where we are based now as a multi-cultural, avid-travelers family.
I have visited over 90 countries, and I constantly travel, because I love it and it's an essential part of my work.
Fun fact: I worked as a flight attendant for Air France while studying Economics in Paris. The beginning of my career was on a trading floor in Wall Street, followed by co-founding the children’s trade show Bubble in NY and London, then launching a travel startup called moodAway before BozAround took flight. Travel has always been my language — the way I explore, understand, and express.
About BozAround Private Travel
BozAround started as a blog in 2009 — a creative outlet during our family sabbatical around the world. It has grown into something much bigger: a private travel design service rooted in purpose, style, and personal connections. We only work with a small number of clients for whom we design thoughtful journeys anywhere in the world.
BozAround Private Travel is an independent travel company partnered with 360 Private Travel and member of Virtuoso. As a founding member of The Conscious Travel Foundation, we curate exceptional journeys that honor both people and the planet.
At BozAround, we don’t just plan trips — we curate places and experiences that are thoughtful, soulful, and rooted in purpose. These are the values that shape everything we do:
Our Values
Curiosity with care
Travel is how we learn and grow. I craft journeys that expand minds, especially little ones, while being mindful of the world we move through.
Sustainable luxury
I believe you can travel beautifully while treading lightly. I seek out places that honour their land, support their communities, and deliver comfort with conscience.
Connection through culture
The most meaningful memories often come from unexpected encounters. I work with local partners who welcome you in with warmth and pride.
Style meets substance
I have a soft spot for beautiful things — but beauty means more when it tells a story. Every place I choose is both aesthetically inspiring and deeply intentional.

I’ve been raving about you to anyone who will listen!
The special things you planned were spot on! We were treated so well at all the hotels and made to feel special!
I am totally blown away by your level of detail and the brilliance of our trip!!
When we set out to plan our round-the-world trip, I knew the first person I needed to speak to was Vanessa.
We had the greatest time. We loved our guide and the tour of the musicians home. Every detail was perfect.
I love how Vanessa weaves in so much of her personality.
Thank you, we had the most wonderful time.
You never cease to amaze me with your attention to detail and tremendous thoughtfulness.
You set the standards so high, it’ll be very difficult to get over.
There is virtually nowhere on the globe where Vanessa doesn’t have a connection.
