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!

Scunci Luxe Active No Slip Headwraps

Scunci Luxe Active No Slip Headwraps

For some reason most non-slip headbands seem like they are made for children. Way too small for me. This one is perfect. It's snug, DOES stay in place all day long, dries quickly, and it not hot on my head. Unfortunately it does get stretched out after a while.

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.

Eagle Creek Exhale Inflatable Neck Pillow

Eagle Creek Exhale Inflatable Neck Pillow

Similar to the Sea to Summit pillow but a little plusher, a tiny bit bigger, and a lot better quality. Packs tiny, blows up in just a few breaths to a nice large pillow with a narrow back and a closure in front. Not as easy to empty as StoS, but I love this pillow! It's a separate bladder in a soft pillow case.

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.
