Karamel McCoy is the founder of Women Travel Abroad, co-host of the top 1% podcast CEO Chronicles, a business mentor and the owner of an office building in Kansas City.

When her military husband deployed for a year, Karamel started a Meetup group in Southern California to make new friends. As an avid traveler, she invited several of these ladies to join her on her trip to Amsterdam and Paris, and they agreed.

Soon, Karamel realized there was a demand for friendly, curated groups of women who could “solo” travel together, and Women Travel Abroad was born. Since starting in 2018, Women Travel Abroad has taken over 420 travelers to 25 countries and has grown to nearly $1 million in annual revenue on a shoestring budget.

When Karamel isn’t organizing trips, mentoring an entrepreneur or managing her co-working space, you can find her on stage. An experienced speaker, Karamel has spoken at conferences, corporations, and universities that showcase her expertise from a decade working in accounting and talent development, along with her charisma from her past as a morning radio DJ.
