"After graduation, I defied the traditional career path, driven by an insatiable curiosity and a burning passion to explore the world." explaines Driftawave Founder Gina Schinkel, "The pandemic forced me to pivot – I lost my travel consultant job, and my dream of founding my own company was put on hold. But this detour wasn't without its rewards. Through referrals, I landed incredible jobs that allowed me to travel the world on superyachts. I also delved into the world of tech sales, gaining valuable experience at one of the fastest-growing social media platforms. These experiences have only strengthened my resolve. I'm back with a renewed sense of purpose and a bigger mission: to help professionals achieve their travel dreams without sacrificing their careers. And that's when Driftawave was born!"
