Lauren Resnick is the author of a new book, Princess With A Backpack, which provides tips and advice for young women looking for adventure while traveling abroad solo. Her book is based on her travels to the Middle East, United States, and Europe. Her journeys include a three-month tour of the Middle East just after completing high school, backpacking through Europe on her own for six months at the age of 24. The just-turned 28-year-old has held several jobs in architecture and design. She also wrote for over a year for the Sydney Morning Herald, with articles about hotel design, retail space, events, and office makeovers.
