Hi, I’m Evelyn, the creator behind Luxsursion.
At 33 years old, I made the decision to step outside of my comfort zone, leave behind the familiar, and embark on a journey around the world in search of unforgettable experiences, meaningful connections, and life’s little luxuries.
Luxsursion was born from my love of travel and my belief that luxury isn’t always about spending the most money—it’s about discovering extraordinary experiences that make life richer. Whether that’s checking into a beautiful boutique hotel, finding an incredible restaurant tucked away on a side street, relaxing in a beachfront Airbnb, or experiencing a once-in-a-lifetime excursion, I believe every destination has something special waiting to be discovered.
As a Black female traveler from the United States, I’ll be exploring countries throughout Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, Europe, and South America, sharing both the highlights and the honest realities of long-term travel. This journey is part sabbatical, part business venture, and entirely driven by curiosity, adventure, and a desire to experience the world beyond the typical tourist path.
The Travel Confidence Gap
- Over 70% of travelers say social media influences their travel decisions.
- Nearly 50% of employees leave vacation days unused each year.
- More than 60% of travelers report that trip planning can feel overwhelming.
- Cost is consistently ranked as the #1 reason people postpone travel.
- Solo travel searches have increased significantly over the past decade, yet safety concerns remain one of the biggest barriers for first-time solo travelers.
- Food is among the top three factors influencing destination selection for leisure travelers.
- Travelers increasingly seek authentic local experiences over traditional sightseeing alone.
Despite the rise of social media and increased access to travel information, many people still do not travel as often as they would like. Studies consistently show that cost concerns, fear of traveling alone, lack of planning knowledge, and uncertainty about destinations are among the biggest barriers to travel. According to industry surveys, nearly half of Americans leave paid vacation days unused each year, while many travelers report feeling overwhelmed by the amount of information required to plan a trip.
