Alexia Heath: She Goes By Founder Now

Alexia Heath started Young & Stamped in November 2023 with a simple premise: she wanted to travel with people. Not a formal business plan, not a five-year projection. Just a girl who grew up taking international trips with her Navy family, who wanted to extend that feeling to people who didn't have anyone to go with. We first sat down with her in May 2024, when the company was six months old and she was still figuring out hotel logistics for her first international trip. She was learning in real time, building with both hands.

A lot has changed since then.

She's done over ten sold-out ski trips across North Carolina. She’s taken a group to the French Alps. She brought people to Colombia. She just got back from two weeks in Bali at a founders’ retreat and she's quietly in the process of launching a second travel company, Avari Travel, a fully custom planning agency for retreats and private trips. Young & Stamped was the beginning. Now there are multiple lanes.
