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!

Gold Bond Body Powder

Gold Bond Body Powder

It can be a bit messy but it helps keep you dry in hot and humid climates. Just put it on after your shower or even dust it on under your clothes if you feel you need a refresh. Cheaper if you want to run to the store down the road. ;)

Cocoon Coupler BEST Travel Sheet

Cocoon Coupler BEST Travel Sheet

This is my favorite brand of travel sheet. You get what you pay for and this is quality. The cotton Coupler TravelSheet fits my criteria of having an all-around zipper and back pillow pocket. I like being able to open it up all the way to make a flat sheet, and also if you're traveling w/ your mate, you can zip two sheets together. It's a little heavier than the cotton/silk version, though at 14.5 oz. and 8" x 4" packing size.

Sherpani Prima Anti-Theft Purse

Sherpani Prima Anti-Theft Purse

This is a perfect sized purse, not too big, not too small, with all sorts of anti-theft features. You can fit a folded piece of paper in it. It even has a little cable so you can attach it to a chair if you are sleeping.

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!
