Lauren, 25
Growing up on her family's cattle farm in rural Missouri, and with an intense love of the outdoors, Lauren didn’t get many opportunities to travel. But since graduating college and moving a thousand miles across the country, she has relentlessly chased adventure all over the world.
The epitome of the fearless solo traveller, Lauren lives her life in accordance with her favourite quote: “Courage is not a lack of fear, it’s action despite the presence of fear”.
