KAITLIN CALOGERA

 

 Founder & President

 

Kaitlin Calogera is a licensed tour guide, author, and entrepreneur who holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in History. After recognizing a lack of women’s representation in public spaces, she founded the first tourism company in Washington, DC to focus exclusively on women's history. A Tour Of Her Own (TOHO) was established in 2018 to offer historical tours and special events that reframe the narrative by elevating women’s stories.

Calogera became a professional tour guide because she believes in education beyond the classroom and that tourism has the power to ignite social change. Her book "111 Places in Women's History That You Must Not Miss" is a travel guidebook that encourages readers to explore sites and stories about women, many who are overlooked in traditional textbooks.

With an extensive background in coaching female student-athletes, Kaitlin’s philosophies center around teamwork, empowerment, and education. As an avid traveler and researcher, she believes in the idea that we all belong but sometimes have to search deeper for the people, places, and stories we connect with most.
