Q&A with Modo Ambassador Jen Walker

Meet Jen Walker of Movement108, a hiking and carsharing enthusiast who will share her upcoming Modo trips as an Ambassador!

"Using a carshare for our hiking groups encourages carpooling, which invites more conversation and social connection, and saves me money to explore even more! Not to mention the environmental impact."
