Our Commitment to Diversity + Inclusion
Travel is a privilege, and we recognize that the experience of traveling looks and feels different for everyone. We are committed to helping everyone pursue fulfilling, safe, and fun vacations, and building a business that is actively working to make ourselves, and the travel industry, more inclusive.
Where It All Began
Pack Up + Go launched in Pittsburgh, PA in 2016. Our founder, Lillian, was inspired by the concept of Surprise Travel that had already taken root in Europe. She decided to showcase unique and overlooked cities like her hometown, Pittsburgh, to American travelers.
We are proud to now send travelers to 300+ destinations around the country, and to support local businesses and economies nationwide.
Among our small but mighty team are travel planners, marketers, writers, designers, dreamers, and travelers, just like you!
