Travelling solo in South America, parenting and truly being open with Amy Vespa
Amy travelled solo through South America in her 20s and really deepened her relationship with open-mindedness. She now travels with her daughter and instils this lesson in her.
About Amy
When asked 'what do you want to do when you grow up,' 10-year-old Amy knew that all she wanted to do was travel. She loved the thought of different cultures, learning new languages, and nature adventures that were worlds away from her New York City suburb home. Amy spent years travelling abroad and, most recently, all over the USA.
As a Holistic Health Coach and nutritionist, Amy has combined her love of nutrition with her love of travel and helps women feel great and love life while also continuously exploring. Amy now has a co-explorer, her 6.5 year-old daughter, who has also caught the travel bug!
“I realised that people are so open and so friendly and want to get to know you.”
