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!

A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.

Pacsafe Retractasafe 250 Cable Lock

Pacsafe Retractasafe 250 Cable Lock

This comes in handy from time to time. Sometimes you need to supply your own lock at a hostel or you want to lock your bag to a pole while sleeping on an overnight train, at an airport, or leaving your luggage at a hotel for a few days.

Sherpani Prima Anti-Theft Purse

Sherpani Prima Anti-Theft Purse

This is a perfect sized purse, not too big, not too small, with all sorts of anti-theft features. You can fit a folded piece of paper in it. It even has a little cable so you can attach it to a chair if you are sleeping.

humangear GoTubb Travel Containers

These are small and versatile and come in a variety of sizes. You can use them for jewelry, pills, and even lotions and hair products. They don't hold liquids, but I use mine for my Bumble & Bumble curl defining cream and it works great.

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.
