A Heartfelt Letter From Our Founder
Ladies,
As I look at the women who lead, love, build, nurture, and carry so much, I think about the weight we move through the world with and the grace we somehow manage to maintain. And I knew, deep in my spirit, that we deserved a space where we could finally rest, breathe, and be cared for just as deeply as we care for everyone else.
The truth is, Passport Kisses was born from my own lived experience.
As a busy professional, wife, mother, entrepreneur, daughter, friend (I could go on and on), I found myself stretched thin, moving as the anchor for so many people while quietly burning from both ends. And I knew I couldn’t be the only woman living that reality. I knew there were countless women like me, women who needed softness, intention, and space to exhale, not as a luxury but as a necessary form of self-care.
So I set out to create something for us.
A travel home that honors the woman behind every title.
A community that understands our pace.
Experiences that offer the comfort we rarely receive but deeply deserve.
A space where ease is allowed, welcomed, and encouraged.
Passport Kisses is for women who are accomplished, grounded, and self-aware, yet still crave intentional moments that replenish rather than deplete. This chapter simply reflects that truth in a clearer, softer, more aligned way.
💜 Why This Chapter Matters
When I first began Passport Kisses, I wanted to curate meaningful travel experiences. But over the years, something more profound revealed itself:
Travel isn’t just about seeing the world. Travel embodies the quiet moment where we finally return to ourselves.
For women who are always present for others, travel becomes the pause, the reset, the gentle reminder that we matter too. It’s where our shoulders drop, our minds settle, and our spirits have room to breathe.
This chapter of Passport Kisses wasn’t created to change who we are, it was created to elevate the realities we live each day. It was created to give established women a place where rest, culture, and connection can exist beautifully together.
💋 The Meaning Behind Our Refreshed Logo
Our refreshed circular logo, paired with our signature Kiss and two airplanes, carries a message that speaks directly to women like us.
The CIRCLE symbolizes completeness and continuity… a reminder that we are already whole and accomplished, even when life pulls us in many directions.
The KISS symbolizes the moments we choose ourselves…the little breaths of softness, rest, and care that help us stay grounded and emotionally nourished…replenishing the woman behind every title you hold
The TWO AIRPLANES represent the balance we deserve, the outward adventure that excites us, and the inward rest that restores us. One plane carries us into new experiences while the other brings us home softer, clearer, and more deeply cared for.
And when all elements come together, the circle, the Kiss, and the airplanes, the full logo mirrors the feel of a passport stamp. Not only marking where we’ve been, it reflects the journeys ahead of us and the ease, alignment, and self-care each trip will bring.
It’s a travel mark created exclusively for women who deserve beautiful breaks and meaningful escapes.
💜 The Passport Kisses Lady Lounge
This chapter also brings a space created with our lived reality in mind.

💋 My Kiss to You, Lady
If there’s anything I want you to take from this message, it’s that traveling well, and traveling intentionally, is one of the most loving forms of self-care a woman can gift herself. Not to find a new version of herself, but to tend to the one who already exists.
You’ve done so much. You’ve held so much. You’ve given so much. So this chapter of Passport Kisses is here to pour back into you.
You deserve moments that restore you, experiences that honor you and escapes that feel like ease.
I am grateful you’re here. I am honored to walk this journey with you. I’m committed to creating experiences that elevate, soothe, and celebrate the fullness of who you are and who you’re becoming.
Kisses,
KayCee Cooley
