Traveling the world on your own takes a lot of courage and determination, but that didn’t stop Gabby Beckford from giving it a shot. She found viral fame with her travel blog Packs Light, and she using her platform to encourage women from all around the world to hit the road on their own.
Traveling is basically a part of Beckford’s DNA since both of her parents spent two decades in careers that involved moving around quite often. Her mother was a travel agent, while her father was an active-duty soldier, which meant she got to live all around the world in her youth.
Beckford was 17 when she took her first solo trip to Iceland, and this experience made her realize her happy place is anywhere except her comfort zone. She also got to explore more of the world through scholarships and started her blog as a personal diary before deciding to transform it into a small business.
After years on the road, Beckford visited over 50 countries and built quite a following on TikTok and Instagram. Her travel blog is built on the foundation of self-discovery, freedom, clarity, community, and inspiration, and she’s using all the knowledge she gathered over the years to help other women travel the world on their own.
