Kara Cozzolino
I have always had a strong passion for exploring the world and experiencing luxury brands. Early in my career, I had the opportunity to work as an international sales director and travel the world representing some of the most prominent fashion brands in the industry such as: Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Ermenegildo Zegna, and John Varvatos. My career brought me to the vibrant cultural epicenters of Paris, Milan, London, Berlin, Istanbul and Dubai. I have subsequently turned this passion and experience into a business.
In 2018, I launched The Elevated Traveler to focus on curating bespoke travel experiences for discerning travelers at www.theelevatedtraveler.com. In addition to my business, I am an active media partner and ambassador with @luxuryworldtraveler, which has given me an exclusive relationship with some of the world’s top 5 star resorts. Each partner resort has hosted me as a guest, and I had the pleasure of experiencing each unique luxury travel offering first hand. I now curate those types of vacations for my clientele.
I have explored 52 countries to date. My favorite destinations include: Cape Town, Kyoto, Tokyo, Punta del Este, Rio, Thailand, Bali, Istanbul, Interlaken, Ibiza, Formentera, Sardinia, Mykonos, Santorini.
