Navigation WorldVentures: This is NOT the Way to Travel the World by Steph on July 28, 2013 Pass it along: 4543 196 56 Last Monday Michael and I went to a coworking event with a group called DC Night Owls. It’s a pretty neat concept: freelancers, programmers, start-up entrepreuners all getting together a couple of evenings a month to meet and work together on different projects. It was our first time, and we felt kind of like the new kids in school, so when a friendly looking guy started chatting with us about our businesses, we were psyched. As we talked about living and working around the world he got more and more excited. We’re on exactly the same page, he told us. He just had to tell us about his business! He settled down beside us and flipped open his Samsung tablet. Thinking we were going to hear about his start-up or website or whatever, we leaned in. He started in on a slideshow featuring generic travel photos under headings like BEACHES, NIGHTLIFE, ADVENTURE. Well whatever he’s doing, it sounds pretty cliché, I thought to myself. He kept going telling us about this online travel club called WorldVentures, where users can buy discounted travel packages for super cheap if they just pay a $199 fee + $54.95 a month (what a deal!). Then he told us the real money was in becoming an associate and recruiting others to join the program.
