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!


Getting Started

Where to go, how to save, first steps to begin budget traveling.

Travel Tips

Packing, basic do's and don'ts, ways to not waste money.

Favorite Spots

Looking for destination ideas? Here are a few goodies.

Countries

Details by country. Only the places I've been to so far though!

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Wise Owl Outfitters Hammock

Wise Owl Outfitters Hammock

I'm a hammock junkie. I take one with me traveling when I can spare the extra room and weight, so having a strong but lightweight one is so important. I've learned to tie a good knot around a tree, but I sure do love having these easy straps, too! And yep, I like having the fun colors to choose from!

Travelon RFID Blocking Passport Case

Travelon RFID Blocking Passport Case

I became obsessed with finding the perfect minimalist passport holder doesn't cost a fortune. I love this one! It doesn't include a pin like the passport wallet, but it is nice and slim. Be sure to get the correct model that I have posted here with the credit cards on one side and passport slot on the other.

Lewis N. Clark Retractable Cable Combination Lock

Lewis N. Clark Retractable Cable Combination Lock

This comes in handy from time to time. Sometimes you need to supply your own lock at a hostel or you want to lock your bag to a pole while sleeping on an overnight train, at an airport, or leaving your luggage at a hotel for a few days.

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.
