Meet Jen Ruiz, the woman behind Jen on a Jet Plane. “Like you, I always wanted to see the world but found excuses not to go, like, “I have no one to go with” or “travel is too expensive.”
Then one day I chucked that mentality. I realized traveling made me happy, and I wanted to prioritize it.
I set out to take 12 trips in 12 months while practicing law full-time the year before my 30th birthday. To my surprise, I ended up surpassing my goal, completing 20 trips in 12 months to destinations like Greece, Argentina, Thailand and Iceland.
I found deals like a $16 flight to Ecuador and $38 flight to New Zealand! That’s when I wrote my first book, “The Affordable Flight Guide.” It’s a #1 Amazon Bestseller and 2018 Readers’ Favorite Award winner. Encouraged by my self-publishing success, I did something crazy and quit my job as an attorney. That’s how Jen on a Jet Plane went from hobby to full-blown business (I’m an LLC, baby!).”

Meet Flavia of Latina Traveler
Follow Latina Traveler on her blog | Follow Latina Traveler on IG | Follow Latina Traveler on Tiktok
Meet Flavia, the woman behind Latina Traveler. “I’m a First Generation Peruvian American born in the United States to two Peruvian immigrant parents. Over the years I’ve visited over 30 countries and have lived in 5.
Travel has always been a huge part of my life. I was first introduced to it when I was just a month old on a flight from New Jersey to Peru.
Growing up, I spent the majority of my summers in Peru with my younger sister. These trips along with my dad’s persistence led to my high level of fluency in both English and Spanish, something that I’ll forever be grateful for.
My family always traveled to other states and eventually other countries which only grew my curiosity of other cultures and places. That’s why when I was 15 and 16, I decided to trade in the usual Quinceañera and Sweet Sixteen parties for trips to Europe and China.
Instead of two parties that lasted a night each, I got two trips that together lasted over 5 weeks!
Solo female travel is my main focus and showing the world that Latinas travel.”
