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!


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

The Friendly Swede  Partial Zip Travel Sheet

The Friendly Swede Partial Zip Travel Sheet

This travel sheet comes in polyester (ultralight) or microfiber depending on what type of feel you want. It DOES NOT fit my criteria of having an all-around zipper, but it does have a full-length zipper that you can zip from the inside or outside of the bag. It gets good reviews, comes in regular or XL, packs down pretty small, and weighs in at 17.6 ounces or only 9.17 ounces for the polyester. Good for an inexpensive lightweight sheet.

VSSL  Mesh Reusable Coffee Filter #1

VSSL Mesh Reusable Coffee Filter #1

I have searched high and low for a filter that will work well in the collapsible coffee maker I have linked on my site. Quite honestly, this one is close but it's TOO SMALL. It will work in a pinch but I do have a better one linked on my site. The cloth ones take too long to dry, and others are too small or have pointed bottoms.
