Hope for Peace, LLC was created to Support innovative and dynamic Peace Programs,

through our Premier Customized Travel Company –
serving Corporate Clients and other dignitaries for 40+ years.

Our Journey to Peace:
The George Kun Story & The Birth of Hope for Peace, LLC

Hope for Peace, LLC, is a proud recent addition of George Kun Travel, Inc.
Hope for Peace, LLC mission is deeply personal. I am George Kun, an immigrant and American Patriot who, at just six years old, bravely escaped Communist-controlled and war- torn Budapest, Hungary in 1956. My journey to freedom began hidden in a coffin, sneaking across the border into neutral Austria, on an extremely risky train ride.
For over 40 years, George Kun Travel, Inc. has meticulously crafted premier customized travel experiences for corporate clients and dignitaries worldwide. This profound legacy of excellence now extends to Hope for Peace, LLC, dedicated to supporting innovative and dynamic peace programs through our unique travel offerings. “After almost three years in a refugee camp, my family was fully vetted and welcomed into the United States in 1959 – The Land of The Free & The Home of the Brave! This incredible journey instilled in me a FOREVER advocacy for Peace and a profound respect for all of humanity.”
The inspiration for “Hope for Peace” ignited from conversations with Tom Carlisi, Founder of
Building Peace Through Service, LLC – Peace Programs – and blossomed into a profound opportunity to create a lasting legacy dedicated to my Mother’s courageous and fearless efforts to risk her life (and mine) as we crossed a war torn border on her valiant quest for peace!

Every journey we curate is a testament to the hope for a more peaceful world, rooted in a story of resilience and gratitude.

“What inspired me to create “Hope for Peace”, LLC

was an Opportunity to Create a Legacy – honoring my Mother’s quest for Peace
