About Elevate Travel Connection

Meet Our Founder, Sheila Tenwalde

Hi, I’m Sheila!

I started Elevate Travel Connection because I truly love helping people explore the world and create memories that last a lifetime. Travel has always been a passion of mine, and I enjoy bringing people together through shared experiences and new adventures. Whether it’s visiting a place someone has always dreamed about or discovering somewhere completely new, I love helping make those moments happen.

My goal is to make travel feel easy, exciting, and personal for every traveler I work with. I believe the best trips aren’t just about the destination, they’re about the connections, laughter, and stories you bring home with you. I’m grateful to help others experience the joy of travel in a meaningful way.

Dream. Travel. Repeat.

At Elevate Travel Connection, we create thoughtfully elevated travel experiences that help people realize lifelong dreams with comfort, confidence, and genuine connection. Travel is more than getting from place to place. It is anticipation, shared moments, and unforgettable experiences. We design every tour with intention, carefully selecting accommodations, crafting well paced itineraries, and providing professional Tour Directors who handle the details so you can simply enjoy the journey.
