Meet Amy Yale.
Travel has been my passion for as long as I can remember — and at some point, I realized that passion could become my purpose. I spent the first half of my career in tech building digital experiences, but I kept coming back to a simple truth: the most extraordinary moments in life aren't found on a screen. They're found standing in front of a view that takes your breath away, sharing a meal with a local, or stumbling across a neighborhood that no search bar would ever lead you to.
I founded Yale Travel with the partnership and support of my mother in law, Nancy, whose thirty-plus years in luxury travel shape everything we do. We believe your vacation should feel as extraordinary as the destination itself — seamless, stress-free, and genuinely unforgettable, whether it's a tropical escape, a cultural immersion, or something in between.
My personal favorite escape? Costa Rica — and I'd love to tell you why.
Meet Nancy Yale.
Having travelled personally with my husband and family of three children for the past 30 years to many countries around the world, I am able to create unique travel experiences with dedicated customer service and expert insights. Throughout my career as a travel advisor, I have sailed most cruise lines from luxury ships to river cruises. Cruise Line's International Association (CLIA) appointed me the first Master Cruise Counselor in the state of Connecticut and I served for 8 years on the Virtuoso Cruise Committee.
Travel & Leisure Magazine named me as an "A-List Top Travel Expert" and I have earned prestigious Virtuoso top travel advisor awards. Attending invitation-only travel conferences from Morocco to France has enabled me to establish first-hand relationships with hoteliers and suppliers worldwide, allowing me to provide special amenities to my clients.
I'm showing the ropes to the next generation, my daughter-in-law Amy, as we partner to expand our family business together.
My personal favorite trip to plan? An African safari - there is truly nothing like it.
