Hellen Willett

“I'm going to see the whole world!”

Carpe diem!

6 continents, 40 countries (living in 4 of them), and 30+ years later, wanderlust and adventure are still the beat of her heart. Travel entices her. It challenges her, develops her, and reminds her that there is a need to encourage others to catch the trade winds in their sails.

Living to serve others…

As a humanitarian, teacher, artist, and travel professional, Hellen has lived serving. Her personal and professional lives have continuously intertwined. As a child and adult, an inner passion has been discovering and creating environments to retreat--mentally, physically, and spiritually. From the mountains of Nepal to her family's cabin in northern Georgia, the expedition has continued and her vision is infectious.

When asked what she wanted to do when she grew up, Hellen responded with these words. Little did she know that they would forever come to pass. She has always felt at home on an airplane or in a new place--whether in her country or another one. She has forever had a heart to explore and to see new things and meet new people. Her time as a child consisted of "pretend" playing flight attendant and teaching geography. One Christmas, she asked for a globe and an atlas. Night after night, she would close her eyes and move her finger along the globe. Wherever it landed, she decided that's where she would travel.
