About the Expert
Rebecca Friedberg graduated from The Ohio State University in 2017 where she pursued a degree in Classical Languages and a minor in Business Administration. After graduating, she traveled the world solo for six months.
Her travels took her to Spain, France, Germany, and Romania in Europe. In Asia, she traveled to Nepal, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam.
Rebecca decided to travel after her first year in university. She knew that traveling held endless and valuable life-lessons she couldn’t learn at school.
While in school, she saved her money, committed to the idea of traveling the world, and then made it a reality for herself.
She wrote this guide to pass along advice she was given and help future female solo world travelers.
This is Rebecca’s second guide with HowExperts. For her first one, her topic was how to trek through the Manaslu Mountains of Nepal. In the future, Rebecca hopes to write other works and travel.
