Hello, I’m Kanku Michelsen, the founder of Dilworth Travel and a former HR strategist. I bring expertise, precision, and purpose to the art of luxury travel design.
Shaped by my East Indian heritage and American upbringing, I’ve always viewed travel as much more than a destination; it’s a deeply personal story that is shaped by culture, connection, and discovery. As a travel advisor, I am committed not only to crafting extraordinary journeys; but also to understanding the purpose and intent of the journey itself.
I am the child of Indian immigrants, and I've seen firsthand how travel can mean different things to different people: whether it's a courageous journey towards opportunity, a beautiful way to reconnect, or simply a chance to pause and recharge.
For my own family, travel has been both practical and deeply transformative. It has opened doors, shifted our path, and left a lasting and deeply meaningful impact in ways we could never have imagined. Beyond that, it’s been a way to experience the beauty of our world, connect with new people and cultures; and to also find moments of joy, peace and inspiration.
Whatever travel means to you: adventure, reflection, connection, or something entirely your own; it would be my honor to help you create a journey that’s worthwhile, purposeful, and most importantly truly yours. - Kanku Michelsen, Owner of Dilworth Travel
