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!

Beyond the East the sunrise, beyond the West the sea. And the East and West the wander-thirst that will not let me be.

Some of My Favorite Travel Gear

ANRABESS Maxi Dress

ANRABESS Maxi Dress

I have this in Yellow Floral and I call it my "ugly dress" but I really like it. It's not high-tech, not wicking, nothing like that. But it's a comfy dress to have on hand or just to wear around the hotel. Runs large. Slits are very high on the side (!) so if you need it to be conservative for places like SE Asia, you might need to sew them shut a little.

Pill Pouches Vitamin/Pill Bags

Pill Pouches Vitamin/Pill Bags

These are the best solution to bringing prescription medications, vitamins, supplements, etc. traveling without taking up too much space. Ditch all the packaging and use these handy little baggies. You can even put your prescription stickers on them if you want to.

Samsonite Sokyte DLX Softside Underseater

Samsonite Sokyte DLX Softside Underseater

American Tourister discontinued their version (4Kix) which is what I have and I love it! Having an under-seater personal item sized bag is amazing and I can fit everything I need in it. Especially if you wait for a good sale, this luggage is a must-have. With the recessed wheels, you got a lot more space than a spinner. I might personally cut out the laptop sleeve and remove the USB battery.

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.
