Stephanie Bowers is a luxury travel designer, former U.S. diplomat, and global explorer who has transformed a lifetime of international adventures into unforgettable journeys for discerning travelers.

After more than 20 years in the U.S. Foreign Service, including serving as Chargé d'Affaires in The Bahamas and working at the White House National Security Council, Stephanie founded Singular Sojourns—a boutique travel firm dedicated to crafting bespoke experiences that transcend typical tourism. Her diplomatic career took her to Madagascar, Spain, South Africa, and Iraq, and gave her on-the-ground expertise across six continents. She's since traveled to all seven continents and visited 85 countries, collecting stories, friends, and an insatiable appetite for authentic cultural immersion.

Stephanie describes herself as "hopelessly addicted to travel" and believes the best journeys are those that awaken your senses and change you just a little bit. Whether it's arranging private air transport to a remote fishing lodge in Quebec, curating a wine lover's week in Bordeaux, or securing exclusive access to hidden gems around the globe, she brings diplomatic precision and insider connections to every itinerary.

A proud Virtuoso member and affiliate of Fora Travel, Stephanie partners with the world's most prestigious hotel brands to deliver VIP perks and seamless experiences. She holds degrees from The George Washington University and the National War College, is a former MIT fellow, and speaks English, French, and Spanish. When she's not planning your next adventure, you'll find her exploring new destinations, vetting luxury properties, and seeking out those unforgettable moments that define truly singular sojourns.
