| 10 Years of Independent Travel | 5 Continents | 45+ Countries |

I’m writing this with much gratitude celebrating the community we are after just one month! It’s been phenomenal to see the LGA Flight Deals Newsletter shared beyond people who know and trust my expertise personally, so I ought to introduce myself :)

I'm Demi, an independent traveller who missed my journey home during my first ever solo trip 10 years ago with £300 being all the money I owned. Through spending an unexpected yet amazing extra summer day in Barcelona I discovered something priceless about how I navigate challenges in new environments - and I figured out how to get back for £13 (plus the tax of adult disapproval).

Finding flight deals became an exhilarating method of problem solving with data and analysis for me as I continued solo travelling without a full-time income. Then I refined my skill further to anticipate and find deals for the dates I need so that affordable adventures can happen alongside full-time work and annual leave.

When I am not hunting for flight deals I am still creatively problem-solving, this time in my day job as a product manager exploring how tech-powered efficiency and product features can help vulnerable people in need of financial assistance.

Away from a screen you’ll find me outside on a nature trail, in church community, playing tennis or enjoying a theatre show or art exhibition. I’m joining a gym this month, so I ought to be in there too (wish me endurance please!)

But enough about me! I'm dying to know more about YOU. Please fill out this quick survey so I can tailor this newsletter to support you by understanding:

Woohoo! Thank you for completing the survey and coming right back 😄 

Here’s a few more random bits on me:

What’s Your Travel Style? I prefer to spend less on flights and accommodation so I can have rich experiences like seeing animals in the wild on safari’s, having vantage views through paragliding or helicopter rides and being guided to those only-two-in-the-world places - like going out to explore the Great Barrier Reef thrice in one week. I also gravitate towards eating anything that I see being grilled or sold on a street-side. The only time that’s backfired has been in China!

What dream destination have you not hit yet? South America without a doubt, I actually booked the deal I found to Brazil two weeks ago so that will be my first introduction this November. But I would love to also travel around Peru, Ecuador and Colombia... Yeah!

Do you have a flight ritual? Yes. Although I love flying I hate take off and touch downs due to the shakiness, the pressure in the ears… the fear of crashing(!) Because of this, my routine is very much: Dust my plane seat down; Earplugs in; Eye-mask on; Pray for the pilot and plane and; Try and fall asleep as quickly as possible.
