Founder of the luxury travel agency The Shameless Tourist and Texas A&M University alum, Kaleigh Kirkpatrick has transformed her passion for travel and meticulous planning into a thriving all-female agency specializing in bespoke travel experiences. The Shameless Tourist designs unforgettable journeys, from multi-generational adventures and family vacations to couples’ getaways and immersive cultural explorations.
Her love for travel began with her first solo international flight at age twelve, but her true passion was ignited after taking her three-year-old daughter on their first mother-daughter trip. Known for her meticulous attention to detail and extensive destination knowledge, Kaleigh ensures every itinerary she curates is as effortless as it is extraordinary.
Kaleigh’s insights and expertise have been featured in Travel & Leisure, Food & Wine, CNBC, The Scout Guide, and on broadcast outlets including CBS News Radio and NBC-5 Dallas-Fort Worth. She has also spoken on small business topics at the Texas Governor’s Commission for Women and is available for speaking engagements.
When she’s not designing exceptional journeys for her clients, Kaleigh enjoys exploring the world herself, running long distances, skiing, surfing, trying new foods, attending live music events, and spending time with her family and their dog, Elton.
