Book IWD Speaker: Carrie Pasquarello

Empowering women with real-world travel safety, confidence & risk strategies to navigate the world smarter, safer & stronger

Carrie equips audiences with practical travel safety strategies designed to strengthen critical thinking, situational awareness, and decision-making skills in real time.

Drawing from extensive experience in travel risk management and personal safety, she introduces the SEEK Model: Safety, Empathy, Empowerment, and Knowledge—as a framework for assessing risk, reducing vulnerability, and responding effectively in uncertain or high-pressure situations.

Attendees will learn how to recognize early warning signs, evaluate environments with a critical lens, and make informed choices while traveling or navigating unfamiliar settings. The session also covers how to reduce common risks such as scams, social engineering, and situational exploitation through simple, actionable tools that can be applied immediately.

Her approach is practical, relatable, and designed for students, professionals, and organizations seeking to build confidence and resilience in domestic and international travel.

This session is valuable for audiences looking to strengthen awareness, improve judgment, and develop a proactive safety mindset that translates directly into everyday life and global travel experiences.
