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!

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.

Nitecore Tiki 300 Lumen Rechargeable Mini Flashlight

Nitecore Tiki 300 Lumen Rechargeable Mini Flashlight

This doesn't have quite the runtime as the Fenix E01 , but it has some other cool features such as more lumens and more lighting modes including a UV light. 2" x .6", .42 oz up to 231 feet. Comes in a few colors including glow-in-the-dark. As far as the other Nitecore torches, they just don't quite match up to Fenix.

baleaf Womens Cuffed Travel Pants

I really like these. They hold their shape and look like real slacks rather than travel pants. The fabric is a bit shiny and the waist is pretty tight but they fit my curves well. They are an ankle pant on me at 5'6"

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.
