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!


Getting Started

Where to go, how to save, first steps to begin budget traveling.

Travel Tips

Packing, basic do's and don'ts, ways to not waste money.

Favorite Spots

Looking for destination ideas? Here are a few goodies.

Countries

Details by country. Only the places I've been to so far though!

If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay at home.

Cabin Max Metz 30L Carry On Travel Backpack

Cabin Max Metz 30L Carry On Travel Backpack

Flying with a 7kg weight restriction? You need lightweight luggage! I did a TON of research and landed on this 1.1 lb. (.5kg) backpack. It doesn't have a hip belt or sternum strap, but it'll do for short travel. Iffy on the lockable zippers. It holds as much as my underseater rolly bag and fits on AirAsia and other SEAsia airlines. 18x14x8 in 45 x 36 x 25 cm

Osprey Fairview 55 Backpack

Osprey Fairview 55 Backpack

Although I'm really a diehard Eagle Creek girl, this pack is considered the best of the bunch right now. It's a good size, has good features (including zip-away straps), and Osprey has excellent customer service. This particular model is shaped for women. The 55 liter includes a daypack that zips and/or clips to the main bag.

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.
