About SeekPTO:

SeekPTO is for those who share our belief that experiencing the world shouldn't be gatekept.

Imagine discovering your passion for language in a homestay in Costa Rica, or building your career from a café in Barcelona. These aren't just daydreams: they're opportunities that should be accessible to everyone, not just a privileged few.

That's why our Founder, Gabby Beckford, created SeekPTO. To matchmake ambitious young people from overlooked communities with travel grants, remote work opportunities, and mentorship to help them turn "I wish I could" into "I'm on my way."

We're swapping out your vision board for an action board—from funding your first passport to building a location-independent career, we're your bridge between dreaming and doing. Because life-changing travel experiences shouldn't depend on your background. They should depend on your courage to take the first step.

SeekPTO is much more than just a database:
