I'm very excited to bring you Marybeth Bond (better known as the Gutsy Traveler) whom I'm fortunate enough to call a mentor, but more importantly a kindred spirit & a friend. Around 20 years ago, when Marybeth was 30, she decided to travel the world solo for two years. When I was 34, I did the same, but for one year & with a lot more technology & information at my fingertips.
Needless to say, Marybeth is my hero & I want to be her when I grow up! Today we talk about a new edition of her award-winning book "Gutsy Women," & some of her safety tips for women as well as her amazing adventures abroad.
Make sure to check out her website GutsyTraveler.com, which is chock-full of tips for solo women as well as lots of information & articles for the general traveler. And keep an eye out for Marybeth's Bucket List items that she's always checking off by following her on Twitter at @GutsyTraveler.
