Meet our Curator

Exploring the World with Travelling Island Gems

Hi, I’m Wilma a faith-based Travel Experience Curator and Founder of Traveling Island Gems. I design faith-centered, luxury getaways and self-care seclusions that help women rest, reconnect, and rediscover joy through travel. Through my blog and Instagram, I share travel experiences infused with  personal transformation. 


My life’s work is rooted in faith, healing, self-discovery, and empowering women to design a meaningful, impactful and joy-filled life.


From the turquoise waters of the Caribbean to the vibrant streets of Paris, the stillness of Bali, and the bustling cities of Europe and beyond, I’ve traveled the world with one mission in mind to design a meaningful, impactful and joy-filled life. 


This journey began with heartbreak and seasons where I questioned my worth. Through faith, healing, self-discovery, God’s guidance, and  obedience, I transformed my pain into purpose and now I inspire other women do the same. 


Join me on our journey around the world as I share my experiences and insights about different cultures, food, and landscapes. From the bustling streets of Tokyo to the serene beaches of Bali, I've got you covered!

My Message

My Message

  • Whether you're navigating heartbreak, rediscovering yourself, or simply craving softness and beauty in your life, my message is rooted in three truths: faith, healing, and self-discovery. 


  • Faith reminds you that even when life feels uncertain, God is still writing your story.

 

  • Healing gives you permission to release what hurt you without guilt or shame.


  • Self-discovery is not about fixing yourself, it’s about uncovering the woman God always knew you were.

Explore the Beauty of Travelling

Exploring Dubai Miracle Garden

Luxury meets adventure aboard Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady

I recently spent a week in Dubai wandering the city's charming streets soaking up the culture.  What if beauty could bloom from your brokenness? At Dubai Miracle Garden, surrounded by flowers sculpted into art, I felt it: transformation is real.
Healing isn’t a dream. It’s a journey.

Luxury meets adventure aboard Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady

 Luxury is when the journey feels as good as the destination. On Virgin’s Scarlet Lady, I remembered: life doesn’t have to rush. It can unfold. Here’s to embracing the soft life, one voyage at a time. 

Dunn's River Falls, Jamaica

 Dunn's River Falls is  challenging but rewarding.  Healing feels like this: climbing waterfalls barefoot, laughing, and realizing, you’re no longer the woman who once settled for survival. Travel can heal you. God can restore you. I’m proof. 

Bali

 Bali wasn’t a trip. It was a turning point.
In the stillness of these waters, I remembered who I am. God’s healing isn’t always loud, it’s gentle, beautiful, and waiting for you

  From island girl to Dubai skyline, living proof that anything is possible.  From dreaming to standing in front of the world’s tallest building… I’m living proof it’s possible. And if it’s possible for me, it’s possible for you too. Go where you’re celebrated 

Abu Dhabi

 Walking in grace and glowing in Abu Dhabi.  Abu Dhabi served elegance, peace, and sunshine.   Peace. Beauty. Culture. I found all three in Abu Dhabi. This life? It’s possible for you too. Don’t just dream of new places...go.
