Co-Founder Of Travel Pirates Sebastian Kaatz Shares His Journey

Have you dreamed of traveling the world?

Have you wished you could visit beautiful locations like the islands of Thailand, Machu Picchu in Peru, or Iceland?

And at the same time, have you felt halted back because of the cost to travel?

If you answered yes to all of the above, I’ve got some great news for you…

My guest today will show you why traveling does not have to be expensive.

Sebastian Kaatz is the Co-Founder of Travel Pirates, a company that helps people travel around the world on a pirate’s budget. The only thing you’ll have to do once paid for is make sure you’re all packed and ready for where you’re going, as an example if you’re going to visit Iceland you may want to read into different Iceland campervan packing list articles to ensure you’re ready for everything the country could throw at you.

Sebastian Co-Founded the company with his partner Igor after they both discovered their love for travel, their dislike for paying too much, and their secret to finding extraordinary bargains.

The dynamic duo started off by posting error fare deals, one of which massively boosted their popularity where people got a free flight to Japan.

With entrepreneurial hustle and a grand vision, the team of two expanded to a team of 160 people working globally.

Today, Travel Pirates is the largest travel company on Facebook.

They post hundreds of deals a month for people within the U.S., and even more in Germany where they have their strongest following.
