Meet Liza, the visionary founder of Swappin.
Liza's journey to revolutionize the way people experience travel and temporary housing began with her own frustrations and aspirations. She often found herself struggling to find affordable temporary rentals while adventuring across the US, or welcoming family and friends.
Liza recognized the need for a platform where individuals like herself could seamlessly connect and sublet or swap homes with trusted peers. Liza's passion for exploration, coupled with her entrepreneurial spirit and her extensive background in Product Strategy and Communication at renowned companies, led her to build Swappin from the ground up.
