👋 Meet Theodora.
What started as years of solo traveling eventually turned into a startup.
After more than 10 years of traveling across different countries, cultures, hostels, airports, and unexpected adventures, one thing became clear: traveling solo can be incredibly freeing—but it can also be lonely.
Instead of accepting that as "just part of the experience," she decided to do something about it.
Today, Theodora is the CEO & Co-Founder of Velout, teaches Corporate Finance at university, somehow manages to turn every small talk conversation into a deep life discussion, and is on a mission to help people create more meaningful connections through travel.
