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!

I think that wherever your journey takes you, there are new gods waiting there, with divine patience -- and laughter.

Some of My Favorite Travel Gear

SteriPEN Ultralight UV Water Purifier

SteriPEN Ultralight UV Water Purifier

This is not quite as good as Grayl , but it's small, lightweight and rechargeable. It sterilizes the water, cleaning out bacteria, viruses and protozoa, but does not filter out any turbidity so it's fine for hotels, but maybe not streams. It also needs a glass or a wide mouth bottle.

Earth Breeze Laundry Detergent Sheets

Earth Breeze Laundry Detergent Sheets

I've bookmarked quite a few laundry detergent sheets but haven't yet chosen which ones I'm the biggest fan of. How easy to just take a few of these is a ziploc instead of liquid?! Sink laundry just became easier.

RFID Money Belt

RFID Money Belt

I've researched a lot of different money belts. Everyone has their different taste in what type they like. This one you wear under your clothes around your waist. I'm very picky about the features of this. Comes in 2 sizes. It fits paper bills, has multiple pockets, the strap has a pocket to tuck in when you're not wearing it, lightweight, not too big, etc. Trust me, I looked at TONS of them to find this one. ;)

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.
