In a fewwords...
Founded by Thomas Vanderhaeghen, Belgian, who obtained dual nationality, Welcome West first took the form of a blog devoted to the American West, and started in San Francisco in 2015.
In 2019, shortly before the arrival of a global pandemic, Assistance & Welcome West Concierge is born in Redondo Beach, in the suburbs of Los Angeles. The company quickly established itself thanks to a unique approach and pricing accessible to all.
