BMT 055: Connecting Travelers to Local Home Stays with Yasmine El Baggari

Today we continue our series with entrepreneurs who have created businesses out of travel. I interview Yasmine El Baggari, Founder and CEO of Voyaj, a new company created to match travelers and locals with brief home stays to enrich the cultural travel experience. Yasmine shares her story with us about how she first came to the US as a Young Moroccan Ambassador, and then turned her visit into a mission to visit all 50 states. During her time in the US, she stayed with 75 American families, which ultimately led her down the path to creating Voyaj. At just 22 years old, Yasmine is a prime example of a dreamer who took a leap of faith to create a business out of something she believes in.
