Seattle, Washington

Carolyn Kulb is the founder of Windward Path, a Seattle-based luxury travel advisory for clients seeking both authenticity and comfort. Having lived in nine countries across four continents, she designs journeys built on real relationships and firsthand knowledge. Her clients are well-traveled people who value depth and authenticity: real conversations with locals, cultural experiences, and hidden gems. Carolyn handles the research, logistics, and details, so they can be fully present wherever they go, from family safaris in Kenya to honeymoons in Tahiti. Before travel, Carolyn spent years as a public health professional, managing research across dozens of countries, and served in the Peace Corps in Mali and Guyana. That background shapes how she works: honest advice from real-life experience, cultural fluency, and being a trusted advocate when you travel. Windward Path is affiliated with Travel Edge and Ensemble, partnering with luxury brands around the world.
