Q&A: Access and perks on trendy travel site

It’s “A Small World” after all for CEO Sabine Heller, especially with the relaunch of her uber-exclusive travel website, A Small World.

“Those who take the time to travel want a memory that they can share and reflect on,” says Heller. “There is more to travel than visiting a monument.”

A Small World started in 2004 as one of the original private social networks for adults who weren’t using Facebook. With A Small World, wherever you want to go and whatever you want to do, you can travel like an insider. It’s like the Bohemian Grove meets Travel and Leisure. A Small World took the travel space and made it your life space. The inaccessible became accessible.
