Alexa Chaussé
Born in France and raised in California, Alexa has a passion for wine, cheese, and nature. With over 40 trips in her 10+ year career at Olivia Travel, she’s proud to be a travel consultant both on trips and at our San Francisco office. In her spare time, she enjoys the Russian River Valley, where she embraces small-town charm and river activities amidst Sonoma Valley vineyards. Alexa has been dubbed the “Lost Lovechild of Elton John and Cher,” a compliment she’ll always treasure!
Kelly McMahon
Born and raised in the Bay Area, Kelly is the proud survivor of a childhood with three older brothers. Embarking on her 14th year with Olivia, she serves as a travel consultant in our San Francisco office as well as onboard. She is ready, willing, and able to talk about travel with you! You can often find Kelly exploring the outdoors, reading British mystery novels, or planning her next trip to Greece. A late adopter of the smartphone, she will often “like” and “share” anything relevant to cats, hot dogs, or archeology. She LOVES getting to know the women adventurers of Olivia!
Linda Kemp
Linda’s story starts in Oklahoma, where the Red Dirt, Sooner football, chicken fried steak, and 3.2 beer became life staples. Despite being a product of Oklahoma City Public Schools, she earned degrees from Central Oklahoma University, Johns Hopkins, and Loyola, with advanced study at Georgetown. She later served as an adjunct professor at Trinity College's Counseling Graduate Program.
Moving to Washington, DC for fame and fortune (neither panned out), Linda worked as USPS's Manager of Organization & Talent Development, Retail Marketing, and Brand Advertising before retiring. She played a key role in licensure for para-professional counselors and became a sought-after speaker on brand marketing. Her career included board roles with the National Career Development Association, Mautner Project, and as an advisor to CAMP Rehoboth’s Women’s Fest. She also authored a book on Competency-Based HR Management, though it now earns just 89 cents annually.
Linda first cruised with Olivia in 2000, and her love for it led to a full-time role for over 20 years. We’re lucky to have her—and her great sense of humor!
