Gabby Beckford is a young Travel/Lifestyle entrepreneur who specializes in travel, writing, marketing, and seeking opportunities (not necessarily in that order). During college, she won more than $69,000 in scholarships which allowed her to study for one year in Dubai, UAE at no personal cost, and ultimately to graduate with her Mathematics degree completely debt-free. In the 1.5 years since then, she has visited her 29th country, spoken at travel conferences, and helped send young adults to countries like Russia and Azerbaijan for free through funded travel opportunities. On her road to world domination, Gabby hopes to continue empowering others to seek risk, seize the opportunity, and see the world.
