About us

A small town girl with big dreams, I told Trey on our very first date, “I want to see the world.” Little did I know that the man I was talking to- the man I would marry- was a nomad at heart and promised me, right then and there, that he would show me the world. Trey kept his promise, and thirty-two years later, we have traveled to more than 60 countries, lived in Europe, East Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and in 13 states across the U.S. Trey’s career as a fighter pilot and General in the US Air Force has afforded us the opportunity not only to see the world but fall in love with it. We feel that travel and exploration are key elements of the human condition. As a team, we have developed a deep-rooted desire to share all of the wonderful secrets we've learned with the people we love. Global Nomads is not a business for us, it is who we are; citizens of the world, faces to the wind, hearts brimming with joy. We are elated you have chosen to wander the world with us, explore the unknown and become a member of our tribe of nomads.

I cannot recommend Global Nomads enough! Our 12 day trip included a safari in the Masai Mara, Kenya followed up with 4 days in Cape Town. There are no words to express how impressed we were with our experience. From start to finish the trip was perfectly planned and every detail was clearly communicated so that we were able to relax and enjoy a trip of a lifetime.

Our group was a good mix of old and new friends and the Global Nomads team created great opportunities to bond and to enjoy a few surprises along the way! Our accommodations were first class all the way and we felt completely safe and cared for at all times. Do not hesitate to join them for your next adventure - you won’t regret it!

My wife and I and one of our daughters joined a Global Nomads trip to Africa - It was a bucket list trip for us and it exceeded our expectations in every way possible. Our hosts, Trey and Scotta Rawls, have built deep relationships over many years with local tour operators and our group benefited from those relationships by getting over-the-top attention in every possible detail.

Perhaps the best part of all was the deep friendships we built with our group along the way, no accident as Trey and Scotta are incredibly intentional about facilitating natural and deep conversations. Overall, on a 1-to-10 scale, the trip was a 25 and we would recommend it for any adventurer out there!

After seeing every one of the “Big Five,” a rare feat, we headed to South Africa where we experienced Cape Town and the Wine Country in all of their glory.

I travel for a living. I take about 15 laps around the globe each year. The best trip we have ever taken, bar none, was our Dec 2021 safari to the Masai Mara in Kenya with the Global Nomads. Outstanding adventure.

To be honest, the trip was actually our 1st, 2nd, and 3rd favorite trips technically, because after Kenya, we continued on to the beach at Capetown, South Africa and wine country in Franschhoek, South Africa. Epic x three!! Everything was outstanding - the travel experience, the accommodations, the guides, the staff, the meals, the hikes, the adventures...everything! Can’t thank you enough!
We will be back.
