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!

They are light and thin but not too thin, dry fast and are great for an inexpensive travel tee.

LifeStraw Go Series Water Filter Bottle

LifeStraw Go Series Water Filter Bottle

I've done a lot of research as to which devices to use with sketchy drinking water. This water bottle is great for the money and should keep you safe in most situations cleaning out parasites, bacteria, microplastics, turbidity, and chlorine, but not metals, chemicals, or viruses. It's a little slow to drink out of, the filter takes up a lot of the water space, and make sure to open the bottom first after pressurizing. ;) Also check out the Grayl

Cressi Tonga Snorkel Fins

Cressi Tonga Snorkel Fins

These will JUST fit in a carry-on suitcase. Lightweight and from quality brand Cressi, you can bring fins without taking up all the space in your luggage! I just used them and they were great snorkeling in a current.

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!
