World Travel on a Budget
for any age
Spend Less, Experience More


Travel is my passion and I'd love to inspire you to budget travel on as little as $30/day, lend a few travel tips, share some real stories, and give useful information on the places I've been; the type of information that I search for before I travel to a place.


You don't have to be rich to see the world! You just need to shift your mindset from the typical western "vacation", adopt a new travel attitude, and you won't believe the people and places you can experience at a fraction of the cost.


Travel is for anyone with a sense of adventure, even a vegetarian woman traveling alone in her 50s. ;)
I still have so much more to write from my past travels!

Countries

Details by country. Only the places I've been to so far though!

It is almost axiomatic that the worst trains take you through magical places.

Nite Ize Gear Ties Reusable Zip Ties

Nite Ize Gear Ties Reusable Zip Ties

One of those things you never knew you needed until you have it. I use zip ties all the time and how cool is this to have reusable ones? Various size combinations. You can get a pack of only 3" ones if you want.

AiRunTech Waterproof Waist Pouch 2-pack

This dry belt bag fanny pack is to take in the water with you when you're at the beach and want to take your phone and other items with you to be secure an safe when you go in the water. I'm posting this one after extensive research. I have not tried it myself yet. I think these less expensive ones are all the same, triple zip, just rebranded. Check out the more expensive bags too.

Ripskirt Hawaii Length 3

Ripskirt Hawaii Length 3

The lightweight quick-dry fabric is great, and with the velcro closure, you have some leeway in how much ice cream you eat. I don't like that they put the rough side of the velcro facing out so that it might snag my shirt, but all in all, if you can get one on sale, it's an okay travel skirt with a flirty pleat on the back. I like the short skirt, but the long skirt made me sweat a lot. They come in 4 different lengths.

Keep an Open Mind

Budget travel does not mean sleeping in dorm bunkbeds and partying all night (unless you want it to of course).

Packing Light

How on earth do you pack for a long journey in one small bag? Oh it's fun!

Let's Talk Cost

You can spend as much or as little as you want. My actual travel costs are here.
