Mendy Black
Travel Advisor
Background & Education
Mendy Black is a global event strategist and travel expert known for crafting unforgettable experiences that blend precision, creativity, and heart. Based in Austin, Texas, she holds a degree in Biology from the University of Texas.
Her journey into events didn’t start in a ballroom or boardroom – it started in a lab. After six years in neuroscience research, fascinated by how the human mind works, she found herself increasingly drawn to something else: bringing people together through the magic of live experiences and meaningful travel.
Experience
She has led global event strategy for brands like BBC Maestro, MasterClass, Wiley, and Insights, a Scotland-based company with operations spanning over 40 countries. This work has taken her across continents, developing an intimate understanding of what makes destinations truly special.
Outside the U.S., she’s particularly known for her expertise in the UK – especially Scotland, a country she’s visited 14 times. While she’s explored 17 other countries, she keeps returning to Scotland for its wild beauty, warm people, and timeless charm.
Travel Expertise
Whether she’s climbing the Ciudad Perdida “Lost City” trek in Colombia, sourcing hidden gems in the Italian countryside, or testing out the best all-inclusives in Cancun, Mendy approaches every experience with the same goal: to make the journey just as extraordinary as the destination.
