Silvia Varela Sells Travel Experiences as Sherpandipity CEO
Traveling to most cities, especially ones with heavy tourism, often feels inauthentic. Hotels, museums, theme parks, and other attractions often seem catered to distract or entertain and actually experiencing the authentic aspects of a place a traveler is visiting has become very difficult.
Cool person in technology Silvia Varela wants to solve this problem with her company Sherpandipity. Sherpandipity sells personalized time with a local expert to travelers who want to avoid the typical tourist experience and truly get the best and unique aspects of a city on their trip instead. Varela’s strategy to create this experience for Sherpandipity users is to connect them with “Sherpa’s”. Sherpas are people in a given town, city, or general area that have lived in and experienced the place for quite some time. Each Sherpa personally guides Varela’s customers on their trip. Through the help of individual Sherpa’s, Varela’s clients can have unique experiences when visiting different cities or popular tourist areas. Read more »
