This woman traveled to every country—here’s how she did it:
How I Paid For It:
I am unusual in that I have no sponsorships or endorsements—I pay for all my travels out of my pocket. For the first decade or so, I would return to my home base in Hollywood, do various TV commercials, music videos, even background work, anything that would give me the flexibility to decide my own schedule. Meanwhile, I’d be planning my next trip on a shoestring budget.
Home was never a happy place for me due to a traumatic childhood I’d had with a lot of domestic fighting, police visits, my parents’ brutal divorce and custody battle leading to a restraining order, which led to me never being able to see my dad again, from age 6 until he passed away when I was 18. Throw into that mix a mental illness in my family, which led to more fighting, and you can see why I didn’t like being at home.
Embrace your heritage and everything about yourself. Funny enough, growing up I had an identity crisis because I was the only Indian girl in my entire class of all-American students in Middle America. I never felt that I fit in or belonged. Oh, how I wanted to fade away—literally and figuratively—into an anonymous, homogenous crowd of people and not stand out. Looking back, I can’t imagine why I felt that way and didn’t celebrate my differences and beautiful complexion.

Meet The First South Asian Woman To Travel To Every CountryI’m a travel and lifestyle authority and a content strategist who works with brands to create powerful storytelling. In this column, 'Transformative Travel,' I look at how travel can change women's lives. I profile the doers and the disrupters and cover the trends and the destinations that appeal to women today. I have been writing about travel since the early days of my career, when I started off as a honeymoon editor, even though — ironically — I was single at the time. Since then, I have written for a number of publications, including Food & Wine, Wallpaper and The New York Times. I have been the editor-in-chief of Yahoo Travel, which was named the top online travel magazine under my leadership. Before that, I was deputy editor of Travel & Leisure. Throughout my career, I have appeared regularly on television, including Good Morning America and NBC Today. Journalism is part of my heritage: My great great grandfather was a Civil War correspondent for the Chicago Tribune. Follow me on Twitter (laurabegley) and Instagram (laurabegleybloom).
