Are you ready to tap into your travel dreams and live life for the plot? 


Welcome to the Young Travelers Podcast, where we inspire and empower you to break free from the ordinary and embrace the adventure that your 20s are meant for. Hosted by Gabby Beckford—solo female traveler, Opportunity Expert, and award-winning adventure & lifestyle influencer of Packs Light and SeekPTO—this podcast is your go-to guide for transformational travel stories, expert advice, and the motivation to explore while you're young.


Each week, we bring you real stories from 20-something adventurers who dared to say, “Why not me?”. From solo female travelers and digital nomads to gap year students and first-time explorers, these guests share their incredible highs, the not-so-incredible lows, and all the lessons and stories in between to show you the realities of people just like you who are making incredible experiences happen in their lives.


But it’s not just the stories—Gabby will also share her best tips and travel hacks from years of solo adventures, including what it’s like to navigate the world as a young, Black woman. Whether you’re a newbie explorer or a seasoned nomad, you’ll walk away with real talk, practical tips, confidence, and the motivation to get out there and experience something new.


If you're ready to go from dreaming about travel "one day" to making it "day one," this podcast is for you. So, pack your bags, tap in, and get ready to discover how close your wildest dreams really are. Why not YOU?
