Who is The Packed Bag?
#RoadTestingTheWorld™
Linda Bentley is an Australian travel writer and author of the book, “The USA 50/50 Challenge;” Australia’s Top TripAdvisor reviewer; a product tester; and photographer who travels the world as a digital nomad.
A self-described “travellaholic” with “a degree in packology,” she packs her suitcase with great skill and always includes her adventurous spirit and love of new adventures.
Her motto is, “Whatever you want to do, do it now... there are only so many tomorrows,” and she lives it to the full.
Acknowledging that she lives a #blessedlife, travelling the world, working where there’s Wi-Fi, meeting new people, seeing beautiful places and breathing new air.
To-date she’s been to 55 countries, with the actual visit count at 172. However, she has no plans to visit all of the 194-251 countries (depends who you ask!) on the planet, as there are some places that are just too hard to visit and those that deserve the respect of being left alone.
