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!

Traveling is...learning that there's a different way to do things.

Tiny 3x4 Notebooks

Tiny 3x4 Notebooks

Everyone has a different style when they travel. Sometimes I go old school and jot down paper notes. Phone numbers, language, directions, all sorts of things. These might run a little bit on the big side, but they're nice and come in a bunch of colors and are hard bound and so they'll stay solid along your travels.

Croakies Lid Latch Hat Clip

Croakies Lid Latch Hat Clip

These are great for when you're on a boat, doing water sports, on a bike, etc. Just clip it to your hat, and to your jacket or shirt and when your hat blows off, you might still freak out to grab it, but it's fine. The metal gets a little rusty over time, but mine has lasted me many many years.

CHENSPRX RFID Lightweight Wallet

Love the Chums Surfshorts Wallet , but want something a tiny bit bigger? This one's for you. US bills height fit without folding which is a pretty big plus. Comes in great colors choices.

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.
