Beth is Founder and CEO of Wanderful and creator of WITS. The idea for a robust community of women travelers came to her while cruising her blue motorcycle through the streets of São Tomé and Príncipe, a small country in Africa’s Gulf of Guinea. Now, she is a thought leader on women's travel, an avid community builder, and a voice for women creators and entrepreneurs. She is the product of an art history major at Wellesley followed by a Kellogg MBA, and lives in Boston with a house full of pets, two adorable girls, and a husband, also known as the founder of MITS (which does not in fact exist yet). Find her on LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter, or on her website.

Ariel is a queer, multiracial communicator, activist, and traveler based in Brooklyn, New York.

Previously, she ran the digital team at Lambda Legal, the oldest and largest LGBTQ and HIV civil rights legal advocacy organization in the world. She has worked, edited, and traveled across the globe, but most often dreams of selling everything she owns and booking a one-way ticket to Amsterdam.
