Guidebook Series
READY? SET...
MAKE IT HAPPEN!
Are you a fiercely independent person who dreams of traveling the world but doesn't think they can afford it? Are you full of curiosity about the diversity of cultures on our planet but don't quite know how to set your adventures in motion? Have you always wanted to "fly solo" but are held back by safety concerns and / or lack of experience in making it happen?
Sound like you so far? Let's narrow it down a bit more. You are a vibrant dreamer, hungry for discovery and wonderment and new connections. You want authentic experiences in new places with different people. Autonomy and freedom are non-negotiable mandatory items on your checklist of life priorities. You tend to choose experience over stuff, people over prestige. You are the kind of traveler who cares about not only getting the most out of a trip but also being a good guest. You do not come from excessive privilege and you couldn't care less about loud brand names, Michelin stars and VIP treatment: you just want your spirit to run free all over the playground we call Earth. You are not afraid of the world and the people in it – and even if you are a little afraid, you yearn to embrace it all. You always wanted to just grab a bag and go somewhere far, far away. You just need to know where to start is all.
