The Founder Behind
Giselle Makarachvili, a hotelier at heart and a mother by nature. With 16+ years of experience in luxury hospitality and extensive global travel, her two young children became the driving force behind creating a brand that truly reflects her core values: quality, sustainability, and family.
Born in Peru, graduated in Switzerland and made entrepreneur and mother in Singapore. She is passionate about both service excellence and sustainability.
As Giselle puts it, “TravelTod was born from love—love for my children, for our planet, and for creating something that truly makes a difference. As a hotelier and a mom, I wanted products that were safe, comfortable, and kind to the environment. I wanted to dress my kids in clothes that I could trust, from materials that reflected our values.”
Giselle was named #4 in the 2025 NYC Journal's "40 Under 40" list. She is recognized as a dynamic entrepreneur whose journey seamlessly blends luxury hospitality, sustainability, and the transformative experience of motherhood. Giselle is dedicated to shaping a future that honors childhood, empowers families, reinvents hospitality, and nurtures the planet.
"Motherhood was the luckiest gift I could get from nature, it brought the best out of me. Mother Nature inspired me in countless ways; it made me learn how children resemble nature. It taught me patience and how, like nature, each child follows their own path and can't be rushed. It taught me nurturing and how to grow through adversity. It inspired me to give back to the planet.
I build TravelTod to be an ESG ambassador that can teach families and businesses to choose eco-premium, to prioritise the health of our children and raise them in a better world."
"My journey is intertwined with the dynamic, sometimes chaotic, yet immensely rewarding experience of raising two, once both under two. Through sleepless nights and a whirlwind of giggles, tantrums and tender moments, TravelTod was officially born.
Balancing the demands of parenthood and entrepreneurship have taught me invaluable insights into the importance of resilience, patience and dedication- qualities that mirror the essence of sustainability itself. Each day presents profound parallels between fostering a greener future and nurturing the growth and development of my little ones.
My children are not just my inspiration but also my driving force, propelling me forward with determination to create a better future for them and for generations to come."
