THE STORY OF FLYING & TRAVEL
Flying & Travel began with two passions and no destination.
In 2016, I didn’t know what business I wanted to build. I knew only the direction: follow my two passions (Flying and Travel), get out into the world, learn, meet people, ask questions and see what I could find.
It worked.
Exploration led to the Bahamas. The Bahamas led to a question. The question became an idea, an experiment and ultimately — a multimillion-dollar travel business and successful exit. Ten years later, Flying & Travel is setting off again.
QUESTION → IDEA → EXPERIMENT → FOUNDER → BUSINESS → SUCCESSFUL EXIT
THE ORIGINAL 2016 EXPEDITION
Flying & Travel launched on 1 October 2016. This is where the journey began. I have deliberately preserved the original page below documenting our inception;
Do you want to Travel the World?
Why?
Life is NOT about being rich in Money or Things;
Life is about being rich in Time and Experiences;
Travel is a way to achieve that.
