This is what he told us:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Tell us a little about your career and business,\u00a0and why it is innovating.<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Our company created the first and only platform that allows users to plan and book travel together.

How has your KCP experience impacted your life today?<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I graduated with many unforgettable memories that were the result of numerous experiences during my time as a student at KCP. The KCP experience has impacted my life today in many ways. Initially, KCP\u2019s curriculum and American teaching methodology successfully prepared me for college in the US. The school\u2019s emphasis on the development of individual personalities and skills contributed directly to my academic experience in college and to my personal growth. Finally, KCP\u2019s strong sense of community resulted in friendships that have lasted well beyond my school years and therefore continue to be important today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After graduation at KCP, Orlando Ardila, Class of 2009, completed his Bachelor of Science in Business at Georgetown University.\u00a0 He currently is the CEO of startup Veabor LLC., a travel and booking app that has had more than 200.000 downloads and has recently partnered with Priceline.com, an affiliate of online travel services giant Booking Holdings [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":1784,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1782","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kcp-alumni-profiles","category-publications"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kcparrish.co\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1782","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kcparrish.co\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kcparrish.co\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kcparrish.co\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kcparrish.co\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1782"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/kcparrish.co\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1782\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1788,"href":"https:\/\/kcparrish.co\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1782\/revisions\/1788"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kcparrish.co\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1784"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kcparrish.co\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1782"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kcparrish.co\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1782"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kcparrish.co\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1782"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
