About
“I’m Kim, 22 years old, a student at Global school for entrepreneurship and an entrepreneur who’s passionate about traveling, food and a healthy lifestyle. I am busy starting up a female-only luxury hostel, combining the comfort of a hotel and the social atmosphere of a hostel to facilitate safer travels for solo traveling women.”
What or Who inspired you to pursue your chosen career?
“5 years ago, my life changed for the better when I started solo traveling. I stayed in hostels and was amazed by how easy it was to make so many new friends from all over the world. Although I was solo travelling, I was never alone if I didn’t want to and felt more connected than ever. I found that feeling so special, that I knew I wanted to pass this along and create my own hostel concept that would empower more to start solo traveling.”
