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!

One should strive to achieve; not sit in bitter regret.

Goody Ouchless Forever Hair Elastics

No-damage hair ties?! Yep, these are pretty comfortable, stay in your hair, and don't rip or damage your hair when you take them out. Great hair bands in black.

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. 41" wide, 47" wide XL
CON: The pillow pocket is in front. Not full zip.
PRO: Zips from inside or outside of the bag. It gets good reviews, comes in regular or XL, packs down pretty small, and weighs in at only 9.17oz. Good for an inexpensive travel sheet.

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.
