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!


The journey is part of the experience — an expression of the seriousness of one’s intent. One doesn’t take the A train to Mecca.

baleaf Tie Front Wrap Shrug 3/4 Sleeve

baleaf Tie Front Wrap Shrug 3/4 Sleeve

OMG finally it exists! A lightweight performance fabric cardigan cover shrug. This is so cool and lightweight that I could live in it. I ordered quite few colors, also in long sleeve . Great for covering up from the sun, being modest to go into temples, or fending off mosquitoes in the evening. This one has buttons and is not nearly as frumpy as the photos!

32 Degrees Cool T-shirt

32 Degrees Cool T-shirt

You can get a 2-pack of these at Costco for $16! They're not quite cooling as the Columbia shirts, but for the price they are fitted and cute and have done well in the heat keeping me dry and smell-free. They are light and thin but not too thin, dry fast and are great for an inexpensive travel tee.
