Description
*Please note, this episode was recorded before the lockdown and worldwide BLM protests.
Lillian Rafson was living in New York City in her early-twenties when she felt the itch to escape. She decided to travel before determining her next move. On today's episode, Lillian describes a summer of solo travel through Eastern Europe, during which she encountered the concept of surprise travel agencies for the first time. Lillian shares milestones from that journey – through the Pyrenees, Poland and Latvia – which led to a decision to move back to her hometown of Pittsburgh. Shortly after, Lillian hit the ground running with the launch of her business, Pack Up + Go – a surprise travel agency that’s now sent over 20,000 US travelers to 90 destinations nationwide!
