Alison Woo, “Travel Maven”

Born of parents who trace their ancestry from China, Holland, Scotland, England, Malaysia and France, Alison Woo’s birth in Hong Kong (then a British territory) set the stage for a life-long desire for travel and wanderlust. She has spent her life traipsing around the globe for passion and purpose. As a journalist she traveled to the furthest reaches of southern Africa to detail human rights issues; in Brazil she witnessed the extremes of beauty and the ravages of poverty; and to reconnect with deep spiritual impulses, she meditated atop Mayan ruins and pyramids. “My passion for travel is fueled by my own experience of growing up with such an unusual background and realizing that no matter how different people may seem, we are all one,” Alison says. “I have been blessed to have traveled all over the globe but I still some big dreams like going to Machu Pichu and Tibet and spending months in Paris.”
