HOW IT ALL STARTED
I'm sure you'd love to know all about Dollar Flight Club and how it all got started. Well the story beings In 2015 while Jesse was trekking in Nepal and a huge 7.8 earthquake rattled the region. He got stuck just below Mt. Everest base camp. It was a life–changing experience that pushed him to make the decision to live every day to the fullest and help others see the world, on any budget. Life is too short not to!
When he got home from Nepal, most people thought he was done traveling. But actually his experience had the opposite effect on him: he was inspired to travel more, realizing that experiencing and connecting with other cultures is the best way to grow as a human being.
A few weeks later, he'd travel hacked his way to a round trip flight from NYC to Stockholm for $210. That trip led him to Stockholm, Northern Sweden, Paris, London, Brussels, Amsterdam, and London.
Slowly but surely, friends and family started asking him to help them enjoy inexpensive vacations of their own, and Dollar Flight Club was born.
