In this episode, Becky Van Dijk, Founder of We Are Travel Girls and Travel Girls Getaways, and a blogger and online educator, joins us to discuss how she turned her hobby into a full time business.
Originally a banker at a top financial institution in the UK, Becky quickly realized that although her career was booming, she was not living the meaningful life she desired. After leaving her banking job not only once, but twice, she finally launched We Are Travel Girls - an online community that invites women who love traveling to showcase their beautiful photography and stories from around the world.
Today, WATG has over 2 million views to the site, and approximately a half a million followers on instagram, and the community continues to grow daily, even in the middle of a pandemic that has stopped global travel.
Becky and I met after I joined one of her retreats in Bali three years ago and it truly changed my life. We talk about what it took for Becky to get to where she is today, what she loves most about the community she has built, and how she sees the business continuing to evolve in the future.
Join us as we discuss, and of course – share some of our own funny anecdotes – leaving you with the (probably) much-needed reminder: We’ve ALL been there before.
