Author Description

In All You Need is Flights, Jen Ruiz transforms an unexpected breakup into a gift: the catalyst for an inner journey towards greater self-worth through another year of solo travel adventures. A major life transformation starting on your thirtieth birthday, leading to an entirely different and exciting new career? Jen Ruiz (aka @jenonajetplane) has been there and did just that... and shared that first adventure with readers in 12 Trips in 12 Months. Getting dumped and having to restart your life completely (again!) just before your thirty-fifth birthday? Definitely not on the agenda. Abruptly single, Jen made a wish in front of an Egyptian statue, which became the catalyst for another year of adventure and personal growth. In All You Need is Flights readers are whisked away again in a year of exploration and growth as Jen regains her solo travel magic and learns to love herself. Whether she is eating pizza on a volcano in Guatemala, mending ceramics with gold in Japan, walking among the Moai on Easter Island (Rapa Nui), or amongst the giants in Yosemite National Park, this intrepid travel writer faces health scares and mountain climbs with curiosity and her signature wit—all while discovering what truly matters and how setbacks can make you stronger.
