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!


Which shall is be: bankruptcy of purse or bankruptcy of life?

Some of My Favorite Travel Gear

See All
Osprey Farpoint 55L Men's Backpack

Osprey Farpoint 55L Men's Backpack

Although I'm really a diehard Eagle Creek girl, this pack is considered the best of the bunch right now. It's a good size, has good features (including zip-away straps), and Osprey has excellent customer service. The 55 liter includes a daypack that zips and/or clips to the main bag.

GRAYL GeoPress Water Purifier Bottle

GRAYL GeoPress Water Purifier Bottle

I've done a lot of research as to which devices to use with sketchy drinking water. This one is the best. It removes pathogens, particulates, chemicals, all kinds of baddies, and does it quickly! It's not cheap, and it's not cute, but it's the best to make water safe and drinkable.

Eagle Creek Pack-It Starter Set Garment Folder And Packing Cubes

Eagle Creek Pack-It Starter Set Garment Folder And Packing Cubes

This is a great set! The packing folder is my number one must have! So grab a folder and a couple of cubes and you'll be off and traveling with wrinkle-free clothes and and organized bag. I use the folder for pretty much my entire wardrobe, then put my undies/bras/socks in a cube, and all my little loose items in another cube.
