I’ve entered you to win a $100 gift certificate toward a Women’s Adventure Tour of your choice.
(I draw winners quarterly, so if you’ve won, you’ll hear from me within three months).
Let me introduce myself. I’m Lauren, the founder of Indie Travel Guru. I’m living proof that a life of travel and adventure is available to anyone who wants it. At 40, I was a single mom with no passport, a poverty-level income, and big dreams. At 48, I started traveling the world with everything I own in a backpack (that was in 2013, and I’m still going strong!).
I’m eager to share everything I’ve learned along the way! You’ll be getting my newsletter periodically, and I hope you’ll enjoy everything I have to share with you about budget travel and making dreams come true. If you ever have any questions, you can reach me at guru@indietravel.guru any time.
