What is your travel style? That’s the question we’re answering this week on the pod. Melissa and Boyce welcome Jaqui McCarthy, the CEO and co-founder of WiGo Trips.

WiGo is an app to assist you in finding and leading trips based on your travel style. Jaqui discusses how the app works as well as the different travel profiles — from early risers to avid partiers. She discusses the types of trips you’ll find on the app as well as how you can lead a trip of your own.

COASTLESS is hosted by Midwest natives and world travelers Melissa Yeager and Boyce Richardson. Both Melissa and Boyce have traveled to more than 30 countries, as well as been the beneficiaries of fellowships that have allowed them to live overseas.

In May of 2018, Boyce came to Melissa with an idea. What if there was a podcast especially for Midwesterners who love travel – those who have to “connect” to get where they’re going? What if it could also connect Midwesterners heading out on adventures around the world — to share advice and even, perhaps, meet up along the way?

Their excitement about the idea grew as they spoke to those connected to the travel industry and realized the extent of the gaps in travel information from the Midwest. In August 2018, they launched COASTLESS: A travel podcast for those living a connection-based lifestyle.

WHAT IS WIGO TRIPS AND WHY YOU SHOULD CARE

WHAT IS WIGO TRIPS AND WHY YOU SHOULD CARE

Two years ago I had a meeting that changed my life and it’s about to change yours. For those who don’t know, by day I help run Lifted Logic, a web design company in Kansas City, and one of the best parts of the gig is getting to meet with different companies and business owners all day, every day. Some of the meetings are with large corporations with thousands of employees and others are with a single person just starting out, too crazy to know that success isn’t a guarantee and that as a business owner they are signing up for years of long hours, high stress, and countless sacrifices. Jaqui, WiGo Founder and CEO, came into meet with Adam about an idea she’d been working on. Thirty minutes into the meeting Adam came to grab me, saying ‘Todd, I need you to hear this idea this girl has, it’s a travel thing.” It’s no secret around the office that anything travel related is right in my wheelhouse. I sit down and Jaqui starts explaining her idea to me. I was sold within the first 5 minutes. As she explained it, I couldn’t stop thinking ‘how is this not already a thing’? It was one of those ideas that you know the world needs and can’t believe no one had done it yet.

WiGo Trips, Kansas City, and why they matter to you.

"As ambassadors we were invited to Kansas City where Jaqui, the founder and CEO, had curated our first trip. It was an experience I won't soon forget."

WiGo Trips, Kansas City, and why they matter to you.

How does one describe a weekend like this. It's really one of those you had to be there kind of experiences. The best part? You can be there. Let me backup. Back in October I happened across a job post. It advertised a job that was unique. A start up company called WiGo Trips was offering jobs creating and leading group trips. As a travel enthusiast I was obviously intrigued. I applied, interviewed, asked to plan an "audition" trip, passed a background check, and finally hired. You can imagine how many people applied to this job. After all it offered not only free travel but paid travel as well. I tell you this not to brag that I made the cut but to let you know the quality of the ambassadors WiGo hired. Out of the hundreds of applicants here are 30 of us left. I've met most of them and let me tell you, if you take any of the trips offered you will have the best people in the world leading your trip. But enough information, Let me tell you about the first trip.

It's more than travel, it's a lifestyle - Jaqui McCarthy

As a VERY mission driven startup founder, one of the most difficult challenges I’ve encountered has been explaining “What is WiGo?” and “What does WiGo Trips do?”.

It’s that WiGo is more than a product. I mean sure, it’s something you can download on the app store. Yes, WiGo is somewhere you can go and meet cool people to travel with, and yep, you can even make money as you travel the world by creating your own adventures you share with other travelers, and sure you can even use it to find the coolest places to go, travel advice, and follow your favorite travelers and watch their journey… but none of that really explains what WiGo is.

WiGo is so much more than a platform, WiGo is a movement. A movement to break away from convention, and start living life the way it’s meant to be lived, while having a sense of belonging as you connect with like-minded people, and accessing the world through travel.
