Meet the Founder
Kelly Gregg Rubingh
Kelly has spent more than 30 years helping people explore the world as a travel advisor and agency owner. After decades of planning unforgettable family vacations, her own travels began to evolve as her children grew. She found herself taking solo journeys around the globe, discovering not only incredible destinations but also the confidence and freedom that come with traveling independently.
Time and again, women would tell her, "I wish I could do that." Those conversations inspired Kelly to create Wanderlust Women—a welcoming community where women can step outside their comfort zones, experience the world with confidence, and share unforgettable adventures with like-minded travelers.
Having visited 70+ countries across five continents, Kelly personally designs and leads Wanderlust Women's journeys, combining her decades of travel expertise with a passion for authentic experiences, meaningful connections, and creating memories that last a lifetime.
When she's not traveling the world, Kelly is active in her hometown of San Carlos, California, where she enjoys hiking, volunteering, and performing in community theater. Whether on stage or leading a group abroad, she loves bringing people together and has found that one of the greatest rewards of Wanderlust Women is watching strangers become lifelong friends.
