How this whole thing started...
Hi! My name is Sarah. I’m a lifelong resident of St. Louis, MO and my goal is simple…to get people to travel more! Back in 2014 I decided that I wanted to travel EVERYWHERE. There was really no place I didn’t want to see.
But there was one big problem. I was not made of money.
So I decided to take a new approach to travel. Rather than deciding on a destination first, I would travel to places based on where I could find deals. And one by one, I started checking places off my list at a fraction of the cost!
I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list
The very first deal I found was a flight from St. Louis to Trenton, NJ. You’re probably thinking why would anyone purposely travel there?! Well the roundtrip flight was only $58 and it turns out Trenton, NJ is only about 30 miles from Philadelphia (a city I had not been to yet).
A couple Philly cheesesteak sandwiches and a run (okay, more like a slight jog) up the Rocky Stairs later and I was hooked on finding travel deals!
Doesn’t it make more sense to be able to search for travel deals FROM the city you live in?
On my quest for finding good deals, I realized that most travel deal sites focused on travel deals from many cities, and St. Louis was often not a city that made the cut.
So I decided to make my own, just for St. Louisans!
