Welcome to episode 40 of the While She's Away Podcast! So insane to me that I've created 40 episodes of this podcast!

And to celebrate 40 episodes, we have an amazing guest interview with Vanessa Karel, the founder of Greether!

Vanessa Karel, is a second-time Founder, Serial Entrepreneur, Storyteller, and Creative Producer. She was recently named as one of the 100 rising Latinx Startup founders to watch through her work founding Greether; a travel startup that helps women travel safer. Vanessa is also currently leading Girls in Tech, San Francisco as their Manager Director. In 2020, she finally realized what had been lacking throughout her solo journeys, while traveling alone being stranded in Morocco in the middle of the pandemic. Which led to her founding a safety platform for female travelers around the world named Greether.

In this episode, we chat about:

Vanessa’s first solo trip experience to Iceland
How being stranded in Morocco lead her to create GreetHer
What is Greether
Why Greether is different from other travel tour platforms
