Solo Travel for Broke Folks
About this Event
Renata is a seasoned solo traveler who has spent 15+ years exploring the world on a budget. From city hostel hopping to volunteering on rural farms, she has developed a practical approach to making solo travel both accessible and meaningful. She will speak on her adventures and the occasional misadventures, and bring a down‑to‑earth, honest perspective that resonates with first‑time and experienced travellers alike.

She aims to empower folks to travel confidently, safely, and without overspending.
