Just in. A bit of good news 💥 Greether won Startup of the Year at World Travel Market (WTM) London. I won. Girls, We won😭🥹💙 A women-owned, proudly Latina female travel company with a mission to help us travel safer, at one of the biggest travel conferences in the world. 👀Pay attention: Women are not only the future of travel but the present as well. We make the majority of travel decisions and are the fastest-growing sector in the industry. Today has been hard, before my pitch, I spent an hour crying and not knowing how I was going to keep it together on stage, but in moments like this is even more important to show up and speak up. The competition highlighted other 2 female founders and for once we were the majority on stage, it was an incredible competition. This is a win we needed today, as a reminder for women everywhere, that together we are stronger. Women's empowerment is important, especially on a day when it feels as if our own country told us we aren’t enough to deserve respect and equal rights. There are fortunately many of us who care deeply about making the world progress for the better, not backward. A huge and special shoutout to all the other women in travel communities and entrepreneurs rising in the tourism industry—women I admire and who inspire me every day, and who everyone in the industry should be paying attention to Alessandra Alonso Women In Travel CIC Hyojeong KIM (She/Her) NomadHer Iris Serbanescu Nina Kleaveland Female Founders in Hospitality Katalina Mayorga Jessie Fischer Jennifer Loh Stephanie Daniel Stefany Hernandez Elisa Spampinato Christine Winebrenner Irick Carolyn Ray JourneyWoman™: Women Over 50 Travel Sally Bunnell NaviSavi Travel Hilary Matson, MBA Nikki Padilla Rivera If I have missed other women who are disrupting travel please tag 🙏them below let’s keep the community growing.

✨London, I’m back—this time, with another milestone to celebrate! My first time speaking at the Worlds most influential Travel & Tourism event.✨ Four years ago, I arrived here with a one-way ticket, bound for Morocco, and a dream that hadn’t quite taken shape. During that trip, I realized there was no tool to help women feel safer while traveling solo. Today, I’m proud to say that dream has become Greether—a company now changing the way women travel the world. 🌍💫 I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be presenting Greether on November 6th at 16:00 at World Travel Market (WTM) in the Purple Theatre! If you’re at WTM, come join me and witness how we’re transforming travel for women everywhere. This is a milestone I couldn’t have imagined back then, and I’d love to share it with you. 🏆💥 And for anyone I haven’t connected with yet—let’s make it happen!

Did you catch our founders Halloween #travelhorror story?
Founder at Greether-Travel and Safety app for women | 25 Hot travel startups of 2024 | VC Backed by a16z TxO
This Greether post went viral—25k+ views, 100+ shares, and hundreds of women sharing their own vulnerable travel stories. In the spirit of #Halloween, here’s one of the experiences that inspired me to create Greether. Alone in Morocco, unable to communicate with my driver, I felt a fear no traveler should face. I knew what had happened to the female travelers in the Atlas Mountains…I know how lucky I was, that what happened to them didn’t happen to me. Today, I’m proud to say Greether now operates in #Morocco—a place where I once desperately needed it. Our local female Greeters provide more than just experiences; they offer safety, reassurance, and peace of mind for solo female travelers. ⏭️Swipe to the last slide to see Greether in action in Morocco. This is just the beginning of our mission to transform women’s travel experiences worldwide. Special shoutout 🥳 to my wonderful team who is so dedicated every day to make these connections happen worldwide and to all our wonderful Greeters as well.
