about us,
the story behind the journey.
Turquoise Curated was born from founder Jolie’s belief that there’s a more meaningful way to experience the world. One rooted less in rushing through highlights and more in meaningful connection to people, place, and self.
Inspired by years spent, living, working, and traveling internationally, the company grew from a love of travel experiences that stay with you long after you return home…
… A shared meal that lingers for hours.
… A conversation that shifts your perspective.
… A place that changes the pace of how you move through the world.
Through immersive cultural travel experiences designed with local connections, Turquoise Curated creates small-group and private journeys that are authentic and deeply human.
Soyez le Bienvenu. Marhaba. Karibuni. Namaste. Welcome.
our philosophy.
In a time when life increasingly happens through screens, travel still has the power to reconnect us to curiosity, awe, and each other. Through experiences in wellness, art, culture, and food, we create moments that shift perspective and deepen connection.
Rather than collecting perfectly framed Instagram moments, we believe the most meaningful parts of travel are often the ones that can’t be captured in a photo. They’re felt. Created in collaboration with local partners and guides, our experiences are rooted in cultural respect and designed to move beyond sightseeing and into the real rhythm of a place.
Purpose grounds us. Joy moves us. And this is where the extraordinary begins.
meet the founder.
Jolie spent years working and traveling internationally across Africa, the Middle East, and other parts of the world, where she developed a deep appreciation for cultural travel and local connection. After living and working in more than 60 countries, she built relationships with local communities, small businesses, guides, and cultural traditions.
She has also pursued yoga as a path for deeper connection, completing her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in Washington, D.C. and her 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training in Goa, India.
Inspired by her experiences abroad, she created Turquoise Curated to share the places she loves in a more immersive and culturally connected way that moves beyond traditional tourism. She invites travelers into a more authentic way of experiencing the world.
Jolie values curiosity, laughter, joy, creativity, and time spent outdoors, and believes some of life’s most meaningful moments happen when we step outside our routines and engage more deeply with the world around us.
