Hey! This is Sairey. I am more than thrilled to introduce our team. We are small, but mighty, and I am so proud to work alongside these women. We have our roles, but everyone helps each other out when needed. The support within is amazing. I was told once long ago when hiring, that "you can teach people to do a job, but you can't teach them to care." So I consider myself the most lucky person, as I have an entire team of people who care....they care about each other, they care about our brand, they care about our products and our customers, they care about our impact on the environment and they care about being good. Everyone shares the intense passion for traveling the world to see, learn and do, to become better people and promote positivity, to be opened up to other cultures and ways of life. We believe that traveling makes us better humans, more compassionate and more understanding. So here we are in a short-n-sweet version. We answered the five questions below. Hope you enjoy!

• What is your favorite destination?
• What is your dream destination?
• What is your best travel advice?
• What do you never travel without?
• What is a silver lining of this pandemic?

• A Favorite Destination: South Africa & Cuba
• A Dream Destination: Croatia and Turkey
• Best Travel Advice: Travel Light! And immerse yourself in the experience, meet the people from the area, eat at non touristy destinations, soak it all in. Sometimes the best is just sitting in a cafe, observing and chatting with the locals.
• Never Travel Without: My UrbanUndercover Everyday Travel Wrap
• Pandemic Silver Lining: We had time to redo our website and give it some of the love it needs! Plus, it's been nice to see people connect because life slowed a bit that we could enjoy each other.

RACHEL WHITE, TEAM SUPPORT & SALES, PRODUCTION:

• A favorite destination: Antigua, Guatemala was a lovely hidden gem I never knew I needed. I spent a whole day looking in shops, sneaking a peak at restaurant courtyards and all sorts of historic buildings dating back to the Spanish Colonial times. Fresh food (the VERY BEST guac), and peaceful open air bars late into the night, laughing with new friends. I am the most present version of myself sitting around a dinner table with no cellphone reception and a mountain in the background, or in this case a few volcanoes. What is it about some string lights, live acoustic music and cross-over conversations that quiets the anxious mind, for just a few minutes?
• A dream destination: Banff! I am craving mountains upon mountains and a giant fireplace. I don't ski but sledding or a crisp winter hike is right up my alley. Did you know Lake Louise freezes crystal clear and if you catch it on just the right day it's also snow free, looks a bit like a fairytale.
• Best Travel Advice: Talk to your travel partners about expectations BEFORE you get on the plane. Make sure you both agree on a general plan, budgets and sleeping arrangements. You don't want to be caught in a far off land sleeping in a hostel when you meant hotel. 
• Never travel without: A sense of adventure and a willingness to get off the beaten path. And maybe tums and a TowelTopper.
• Pandemic Silver Lining: I've really learned to love the steadiness I get from staying put for a minute. A sort of time-out to frame the photos from trips and hang up treasures from my travels.
