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!

JetBo 100% Cashmere Travel Blanket Set

JetBo 100% Cashmere Travel Blanket Set

This is very pricey and yes, I do own it and use it all the time. It's warm, packs 'relatively' small, and doesn't wrinkle. But for the price and being 100% cashmere, it's not very soft. I do use the pillow case to put my inflatable neck pillow in it when sleeping in airports, otherwise I might suggest their blanket-only version. Overall it's a very nice gift for yourself or someone you love.

Life360 Tile Bluetooth Tracker 4 Pack

Hopefully you never need these, but I usually throw one into my purse, in my luggage, on my keys, etc. Bluetooth tracking just in case your item gets stolen or your luggage gets lost by the airline. iOS and Android.

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!

You can spend as much or as little as you want. My actual travel costs are here.
