RVE 246: The Case for a 50/50 Business Partnership with Kristen Sargent from Legit Trips

Today we have the pleasure of talking with Kristen Sargent from Legit Trips, a travel company that runs international group trips. 

Kristen says she is living her wildest dreams. She owns an international travel company with her best friend and also travels domestically every day with the love of her life in their RV. She's on a mission to help people feel curious, alive, and free to try or do new things. In addition Kristen shares her personal adventures on Instagram and Youtube as Perpetual Moves in an effort to inspire others to go after their own dreams no matter how wild or unconventional. 

What started out as a hobby in planning international trips with friends has since turned into her full time gig and it turns out it is also a perfect fit for traveling full time in an RV.

In this episode we talk about how Legit Trips came to be and why this side hustle succeeded in becoming her full time career.  

Kristen has a unique story about going against traditional business advice and forming her partnership as 50/50 ownership and we get into whether or not she would execute the formation of a business that way again.


We go into the growth of a passion project and what it’s like to hire team members to replace you as the face of the business on the actual trips you’ve organized and sold clients on.

Kristen firmly believes that the nomad lifestyle, and specifically RVing, is great for anyone in the travel industry and she goes into detail why she thinks this is the case.

Then we wind down the interview talking about her personal brand, Perpetual Moves, and how that plays into the lifestyle.

I hope you enjoy this interview with Kristen from Legit Trips!
