Never having stepped on a plane before, California native Lauren Cano graduated college at 21 with no plans for what came next. She accidentally manifested her Gap Year which involved low-budget travel across 7 countries in 6 months. How was she able to make it all work out as a newbie traveler?! Lauren tells all so you can start planning your own!
We discuss:
- how she planned her trip
- safety abroad as a solo female traveler
- how she scored free accommodation and food in exchange for some easy work
- what tools she used to help her along the way
- hostels
- how her family and friends reacted to the major life decision
- more!
