Hi, I’m Susie. I’m a parent with a serious travel habit and a firm belief that great trips don’t need a big budget. I founded Our Tribe Travels, a global community of parents who love adventurous travel, and it’s now over 35,000 members strong. I’ve since launched Family Home Swaps, a home exchange community built just for parents, where you can find homes by location, age-specific amenities and what your family loves to do. We have homes across 6 continents and 62 countries, and I love helping families travel more for less and see the world through the eyes of a local family.
Why did you join the community?
Q&AI’d love to meet other travel entrepreneurs, swap ideas and stories, and be part of a global community of fellow travel fanatics.
What is your favorite travel destination?
Q&AOoh, this is a tough one! I love a lot of places, but India has a big place in my heart. I lived and worked in Mumbai for a few years, and the colours, sounds, tastes and chaos are like nowhere else I’ve been. I miss the food, and how humble the people I met were.
Where do you dream of traveling to?
Q&AGalapagos Islands for a wildlife extravaganza!
What was your first travel job?
Q&ANot exactly a job, but when my ex-husband and I spent 8 months backpacking around SE Asia with our 11-month-old baby in 2011, I launched my first community-focused travel blog - a backpack, a buggy, a baby. It was my first taste of providing like-minded parents with valuable content, AND I met up and stayed with some of the parents along the way.
What do you want to learn more about?
Q&AFamily Home Swaps is bootstrapped, and I recently successfully applied for my EIS. I'd love some tips and recommendations from other founders on securing their first raise.
Three words that describe why we should travel?
Q&ACuriosity, connection, perspective.
