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.
