Samantha Patil and Casi Hough are among the earliest members of the Trust community. They’re building a business looking to change how people approach travel. We connected with them this week to learn more about their mission and how they are growing their business.

Company:Well Traveled

Founders: Samantha Patil, Casi Hough

Mission: We're building a travel company for those who are not being served by the current travel ecosystem. We're building Well Traveled for conscious travelers who work hard and want to enjoy life but also care deeply about where and how they're spending their hard earned cash and time.

How they're growing smarter: We're hyper focused on understanding who our members are and how we can best serve them. When our members join the club, we ask them to share some information about themselves to help us provide the best experience possible. Members share what they like to do for fun, the types of trips they like to take, who they travel with most often, where they want to travel next and even their favorite drink (and more). This information helps us connect them with fellow members and serve up relevant travel content and experiences.
