Bio

Selena Bohinski has been a travel advisor for over 12 years and is passionate about creating meaningful travel experiences for her clients. She began her career in the hotel industry before transitioning into a full-time travel advisor with First Class Travel, a family-owned agency that has been serving travelers for 38 years. She specializes in luxury vacations, family travel, honeymoons, destination weddings, and customized itineraries around the world and takes pride in building lasting relationships with her clients while providing personalized service, expert guidance, and attention to detail.

Following the recent hurricane in Jamaica, her agency organized a community fundraiser that raised more than $2,000 to support local relief efforts.

She's been honored to receive the Classic Vacations STAR FIT Award for three consecutive years. Since joining her mom at their family-owned agency, First Class Travel, her team has consistently earned Million Dollar Club recognition with their host agency, Uniglobe, along with Top Preferred Supplier awards. The agency has also been recognized as The Knot's Best of Weddings for 10 consecutive years, Best of Gloucester County for six years, and has received awards from the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority and AICHotel Group.

Bohinski is also passionate about educating travelers and advocating for the value of working with a professional travel advisor. In 2026, she appeared three times on PHL17, sharing travel tips, destination insights, and industry expertise with viewers in her local community.

She stands out by bringing professional hospitality experience, community connections, and real-life travel experience to every client relationship.

Bohinski is 38 years old.

"Being named TravelPulse 40 Under 40 is incredibly meaningful to me because this career is something I’ve worked hard to build and truly love," said Bohinski. "I’m proud to be recognized among so many talented professionals in our industry, and I hope it also helps show that being a travel advisor is a real, rewarding career with so many opportunities to grow."

"As Vice President and Travel Advisor of a successful family-run travel agency, a mother of three young children, and a growing social media influencer, Selena exemplifies the qualities of innovation, leadership, and dedication that this award seeks to recognize," said Stephanie Maden, Concierge at First Class Travel LLC.

"What makes Selena truly exceptional is her unwavering commitment to her clients. She consistently puts their needs first, creating meaningful trips that go far beyond a standard itinerary. Every detail—from the best way to enjoy a destination, to hidden gems, to seamless logistics—is thoughtfully planned to ensure that her clients not only travel well, but travel deeply," added Maden.

"At the same time, Selena has leveraged the power of social media to grow her reach and inspire new audiences. By sharing authentic travel tips, destination highlights, and the realities of balancing entrepreneurship with family life, she has built a community that looks to her as both a trusted advisor and a relatable role model. Her ability to merge digital influence with traditional client care demonstrates her vision for the future of travel," Maden concluded.
