Javier Santana
Travelpreneur in Washington
What’s up, it’s Javier Santana, and I'm an entrepreneur within the travel/tech industry. I came to the USA 🇺🇸 when I was 11 months young. And to be transparent, I grew up undocumented for part of my life and joined the DACA movement leaving high school (watch my story here). My parents worked agriculture growing up, and I was told to get good grades, graduate from college, and get a good job because that’s what successful people did. However, as I went through college I realized I didn’t want a good job, I wanted a good life. Nothing against jobs, I just want to create my own legacy. About 3 years ago I teamed up with an group of entrepreneurs innovating the way people travel, and now we’re disrupting the largest sector on the planet. (Big Deal 😅)
To say that my entrepreneurship journey is changing my life is an understatement. It’s crazy, I just booked my 17th vacation recently. I’m not saying this to impress anyone, but rather press upon people that the only thing holding you back is you. Legacy is the new currency.
A pivotal point in my life was when I realized that my accomplishments weren’t about me. It’s about the lives we touch along the way. At the end of the day, I want to have a big enough trickle effect with my actions that strangers actually show up to my funeral... even if it rains that day.
With that being said... We’re about launch a technology in Quarter 1 of 2018 that the world has not seen yet. Everything has been leading up to this point with our ecosystem and I couldn’t be more excited.
