It seems rare, but examples include the company “Worldwind Travel” as well as the racehorse “A Worldwind Romance.”
“World wind” certainly reinterprets “whirlwind” to make it seem more global, international, or exotic. Other examples include “world wind journey,” “world wind experience,” etc.
By the way, this site is great!
