The world is a vast place...full of beauty and wonder! Once you start exploring, you want to go the next country, and the next country, and the next country ...and then the next continent, and the next continent ...and suddenly, the whole world is on your list! But how do you go from planning a trip to one destination to a trip around the whole world? It seems daunting. And, to be honest, not many people undertake such a big task. This 22-year-old was up for the challenge! In 2020, inspired by Around the World in Eighty Days, Caitlyn Lubas planned an elaborate trip visiting all 7 continents in 7 months – but then the global pandemic got in the way. Nevertheless, Caitlyn knows how to plan a global trip – while sticking to as tight a budget as possible – that helps you see the whole wide world in a short time frame. In this session, you'll learn:

• Strategies for choosing which countries to hit in a nearby radius
• How to strategize your global route
• How to prepare for the trip mentally – there's a lot of change and cultural difference to absorb in a short time period!
