Our story

Travel helps us move forward.

Travelward's founder Blaire Ward struggled with her physical and mental health most of her life, and attributes much of her healing and growth to the time she was able to live abroad in the quiet, quaint seaside village of St Andrews, Scotland, while she pursued her Master of Science Degree in Health Psychology. She learned there that travel is one of the most impactful healing tools available, as it can help people improve their confidence, self-efficacy, self-esteem, self-love, outlook on life and sense of hope, joy, and purpose. Travelward was created to make this experience more accessible for others. 

How it works
