Iva is the founder of Women Blazing Trails. She created this site back in 2019 to help other women over 50 start over again, find self-confidence and regain control of their lives and happiness. When she's not writing, she's driving around on her scooter in her tiny town of Panajachel, Guatemala feeding street dogs and helping the poor people here.
