Kathryn Pisco quit her job to travel; now, she plans meaningful journeys for others
It wasn’t an Eat Pray Love moment, Kathryn Pisco says — she just wanted a break from her corporate job, and she and her husband loved to travel. So they put pause on their careers and took off on a globetrotting adventure. They fully planned to resume their former lives afterward, but their journeys revealed a gap in the industry for meaningful, well-planned volunteer experiences. When they got back, they launched Unearth the World — a social enterprise devoted to planning transformative international exchange opportunities for students, professionals, groups and families. Hear how she learned from being uncomfortable, her advice for others with life-changing ambitions and how she’s working to make travel experiences last long after volunteers return from their assignments.
