Tripper of the Week: Alisha Miranda
Q. You have a wide range of experience in the travel industry – PR, events, writing, social media. What is your “dream job”?
A. My dream job would be to be some kind of “Ambassador of Awesomeness” – representing really cool people and companies all over the world, hosting meetings and presentations, and fostering a global cultural exchange with young creatives. The more I meet young people on my travels, the more I realize these are the people who are most passionate about the world’s future.

Q&A with Team Member Alisha Miranda
Q. What do you think is the biggest challenge today’s young professionals struggle with when looking for work?
A. I find a few big challenges for young professionals on the job hunt today. Personally, I’ve seen and experienced discouraging employment opportunities due to the economy. For example, some companies are taking advantage of free labor and blaming it on a bad recession, encouraging an uber-competitive market for internships where young professionals are basically doing all the work for little or no compensation, or even credit. There’s also a sense of devalued work and confidence in young professionals these days because of a lack of full-time employment: fair salary, vacation days, benefits, etc and high turnover and downsizing among companies. So the challenge is to remain positive, know your worth, and pitch yourself as a “customized package” to fit into different employment opportunities.
