Ellen Saksen and her sister Kate Nichols were prolific business travelers. They travelled frequently, often solo, and they were very, very lonely. It was difficult finding and connected with amazing people, and doing it in a safe way, while out on the road so much. This is why they sat down and created the app Amelia. It is an app to help connect busy solo women travelers to like-minded people. Meet new people while on the road, see and explore the new country you’re in, and do it all in a safe way! Key Takeaways: *When was Ellen’s first solo journey? *How did Ellen manage work plus travel? Did she have any challenges with that? *What were some of the perks of traveling for business? *It can be very easy to get lonely while traveling. How did Ellen manage it? *Being lonely while traveling is one of the reasons why Ellen created the Amelia App to help connect with other like-minded people. *Who are Ellen’s users? *What is Go Jane Go about? *The Amelia app is now live but it is still in beta. Go check it out, test it, and email Ellen any questions you might have! *Is loneliness just a problem or concern with U.S.-based travelers? *What’s next for Ellen? Does she have any solo trips planned?
