FINALLY, a proven way for young people to take trips around the world without the financial, logistical, or confidence barriers that can keep us stuck at home forever!
No need to wait until you're rich, retired, or burnt out to cross those dreams off of your bucket list.
Why does travel feel so out of reach when you're young?
💰 FINANCES - sometimes you just don't have the Benjamins. Especially when you're a student, or have only been working for a few years. (That student loan debt... 🥲)
🗺 LOGISTICS - Planning flights, lodging, activities, visas, etc. is honestly overwhelming, and can cause trip planning paralysis. The only thing worse than not traveling at all? ...Traveling and hating it.
💪🏽 CONFIDENCE - Maybe you've never left the U.S. before. Maybe no one in your family has. You crave adventure and global experiences... but just need a little hand-holding and incentive to actually make it happen!
What you need is a Paid Travel Opportunity (PTO), which can give you all of the above, and more. It's how I've had the most jaw-dropping, valuable, life-changing trips of my life. And in this course, I'm teaching you exactly how you can, too.
This course is for you who KNOW you're not satisfied with where you're at in life, and honestly just need the cheat codes.
To travel around the world, to have once-in-a-lifetime experiences, and to level up along the way... without sacrificing your bank account.
If you feel like you have all of the ambition, excitement, and hunger to see the world, find yourself, and change your life, and the only thing you need is a roadmap on how/where to start... this course is for you.
If you’re looking to have quality > quantity, and you're willing to implement a structured road map so that you're able to have life-changing travel experiences as young as 13 years old, then this course will be one of the best investments you’ll ever make!!!
YOUR INSTRUCTOR
I, Gabby Beckford, am a Travel and Opportunity Expert, and founder of Packs Light.
I've been awarded more than $200,000 in scholarships, grants, funded cultural exchanges, etc., and have used them to travel to countries like the UAE 🇦🇪, South Korea 🇰🇷, Austria 🇦🇹, and Fiji 🇫🇯 and more completely free*.
Plus, PTOs have helped me:
- have once-in-a-lifetime experiences
- expand my network
- improve my professional resume
- start my career as a travel influencer
- gain free flight miles and travel points
- save hard-earned money
And I can teach you to do the same, too!
*Work ethic, not included.
What's included in the course?
What if you didn’t fix this and continue waiting to see the world until you win the lottery, retire, or completely burn out?
If you stick with the traditional ways of traveling while young, you’ll continue going to the same, tired domestic destinations, and you’ll be limiting yourself from the personal, professional, and pivotal connections and experiences that await you in these paid travel opportunities... which leaves you feeling frustrated and trapped. 😕
Your travel goals eventually disappear. And you brainwash yourself into believing "good things only happen for other people..." and "they must be scams..." and "I'll never get to do that..." just to sleep at night knowing you never gave your travel aspirations a real shot.
And I don't think you actually want that. I believe you want amazing things to happen in your life, and miracles to happen for you...
*You just need to be shown that it's possible.*
The truth is, I wanted the exact same thing you do.
To break out of the monotonous, cookie-cutter life I was living and expand my horizons.
I wanted to have once-in-a-lifetime moments, with once-in-a-lifetime people in once-in-a-lifetime places.
I’d always been interested in travel—but I’d also been equally terrified of debt and kind of needed some prompting to really prioritize making travel happen over the 1000x other things in my life that always seemed to come up...
I’m Gabby 👋🏽 Known by my 665K+ social media followers as... The Opportunity Queen 👑
I’ve been applying to, and winning, paid travel opportunities (PTO) since I was 18 years old.
I started out applying to college scholarships so that I could minimize my student debt and save my pocket money for my true passion—travel. I only traveled for weekend trips around my state or occasionally with family. Never anywhere like the exciting places I’d had on my bucket list.
No one ever told me about paid travel opportunities… Probably because the concept didn’t really exist.
It wasn’t until I accidentally stumbled into a $20,000 study abroad scholarship that I realized that fully-funded travel opportunities exist all around us.
Programs, grants, scholarships, etc. all fully funded and have an aspect of travel as a means to explore the world… It was unorthodox. But I was 100% okay with that.
By graduation in 2017, I was hooked on the realization that simply hanging out in the right spaces, submitting strategic and stand-out applications, and tracking them could literally lead me around the world on intentional, mind-blowing experiences at zero personal cost…
And I made this course too teach you that they can do the same thing for you, too!
NEED PROOF?
Say less. Below are 3 separate times in my life I've gone on $10,000 trips, completely free!
Yup. These are the same adventures you'll be going on once you finish this course!
