Kirsteene Phelan, Acting CEO of Rome2Rio, has a 15-minute conversation with me to discuss her company's new partnership with Lonely Planet and what it means to the average traveler.
We hit on other topics, including:
- How is Rome2Rio different than Google maps and other travel planners?
- How do they get offline data online?
- What's the best way to break into the travel industry?
- What's her long-term vision for Rome2Rio? Where are they traveling to?
This is the 18th WanderLearn podcast episode.
We mention Bla Bla carpooling, which Rome2Rio integrates with. It's a great way to get around in Europe. It's a pity that the USA doesn't have an app that is equally popular.
