MY STORY
While growing up with my five siblings, I discovered that I have an entrepreneurial spirit within me. Family and friends would come to me for advice and guidance in financial matters, business management, and for every day simple common-sense concerns. My family and friends started calling me "The Informational Wizard" and "The Business Lady".
I began educating myself to learn as much as possible by attending classes, webinars, conferences, and lectures on business startup. My love for travel afforded me many opportunities to visit other cities and countries to get a global view of the world of business ownership and new products to sell.
After retiring in 2021 with 30 years of federal government service as a Management & Program Analyst, I am wholeheartedly focused on building Ingrid Originals LLC encouraging others to travel with us on international escorted bleisure tours that includes lodging, tour guides, translators, and some meals. The International Bleisure Tours will explore new business venture opportunities while enjoying and experiencing international culture in the Caribbeans, Africa, and Asia.
If you are ready for a “Bleisure” (business+leisure) experience, come travel with Ingrid Originals LLC!
