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!

Traveling is...learning to be comfortable where you are no matter where you are.

humangear GoToob+ The Best No-Leak Travel Containers

Looking for a travel bottle container that doesn't leak? Look no further! They come 3 sizes 1.7 oz, 2.4 oz, and 3.4 oz (100 ml) to accommodate whatever you need to pack and the fun colors don't hurt either.

Sea To Summit Tek Towel

Sea To Summit Tek Towel

If you don't want to feel like you are drying off with a chamois, you need to spend a little more on your travel towel. This towel feels more like an actual soft towel, but it is lightweight and dries quickly. I like to go with a larger towel to cover up property with it. ;)

Eagle Creek Exhale Inflatable Neck Pillow

Eagle Creek Exhale Inflatable Neck Pillow

Similar to the Sea to Summit pillow but a little plusher, a tiny bit bigger, and a lot better quality. Packs tiny, blows up in just a few breaths to a nice large pillow with a narrow back and a closure in front. Not as easy to empty as StoS, but I love this pillow! It's a separate bladder in a soft pillow case.

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!

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