Kaleigh Kirkpatrick

Founder of luxury travel agency The Shameless Tourist and Texas A&M University alum, Kaleigh Kirkpatrick has transformed her passion for travel and business acumen into a leading all-female agency with seven travel advisors, each specializing in areas such as Disney, family travel, multi-gen groups, couples, and more. Kaleigh has been recognized as a top producer in the travel industry, earning multiple awards for her outstanding work, and was named Woman of the Month by Fort Worth Woman.

Kaleigh’s love of travel began when she took her first solo international flight at age twelve, but it wasn’t until after she took her three-year-old daughter on their first mother-daughter trip that it became a lifelong passion and career. Kaleigh has always been the planner of all events, leaving nothing to chance, and her meticulous nature extends to the travel experiences she curates for her clients. When she’s not planning travel, being a mom and wife, or exploring the world herself, she enjoys long-distance running, skiing, surfing, trying new foods, live music, and spending time with her dog Elton.

Her clients seek her expertise for her unparalleled attention to detail, destination insights, and expert travel tips. Kaleigh’s advice and travel trends have been featured in publications such as Travel & Leisure, Food & Wine, CNBC, and broadcast outlets including CBS News Radio and NBC-5 Dallas-Fort Worth. She’s also spoken on small business topics at the Texas Governor’s Commission for Women and is available for speaking engagements.
