The Entrepreneur Behind This Popular Travel Brand Shares How to Keep Your Sense of Adventure Alive - Entrepreneur
Away co-founder Jen Rubio reveals the strategies that help her make sure she doesn't get stuck behind a desk
Jen Rubio created the travel brand company Away to help other people get out of their everyday lives and see and do something different so that they can come back energized and ready to be their best selves. But the everyday running of a fast-growing company, while making sure that no detail is lost in the shuffle, can be stressful. Rubio says it is one her top priorities to make sure that she doesn’t lose her sense of adventure.
Before starting Away more than three years ago, Rubio, a frequent traveler, found herself searching high and low for a suitcase she could easily carry on that wouldn’t be too clunky or too expensive. She realized she was far from the only one who had run into the issue and turned this universal pain point into a startup success after joining forces with her friend and Warby Parker colleague at the time, Steph Korey.
