International Women's Day 2021


Meet our Skalleague, Christina Turrini,

My World to Travel & Frosch Travell


"Women should not be afraid to try something new and to be sure to learn something from everyone they encounter."

Christina recently co-founded My World to Travel (MWTT)

with Andrey and Katya Zakharenko.

Which advice they could give to other women who want to launch their own business in the travel industry?

Networking and staying up to do date with the travel industry via seminars, events and webinars is key when you want to launch your own business. Women should not be afraid to try something new and to be sure to learn something from everyone they encounter.

How does SKAL empower women and help them develop their own business?

SKAL San Francisco is a fantastic organization to empower women through networking and mentoring. The club offers an open forum for new ideas and members are kind and considerate for their fellow skalleagues.

SKAL SF consistently fundraises and donates to worthy causes that remind us we are all connected at some level. Whether it is the fires in Australia, hurricanes in Puerto Rico or maintaining active and current engagement with Tourism Cares I find these fundraisers and donations to be one of the most valuable and inspiring highlights of SKAL SF. Sharing a global footprint in a positive manner and connection is important moving forward with SKAL San Francisco. Monthly speakers promoting inclusivity and a focus on meaningful and transformative travel is of particular interest to me and I am grateful for the excellent speakers SF SKAL has had at our virtual meetings. While there is no shortage of problems today and a vibrant city like San Francisco has its fair share of them, I find our monthly meetings and speakers to be inspiring for how to move forward with Tourism and put our best foot forward together. SKAL!
