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!

Like all great travelers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen.

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.

baleaf Tie Front Wrap Shrug Long Sleeve

OMG finally it exists! A lightweight performance fabric cardigan cover shrug. This is so cool and lightweight that I could live in it. I ordered quite few colors also in 3/4 sleeve . Great for covering up from the sun, being modest to go into temples, or fending off mosquitoes in the evening. Goes over a dress or a swimsuit. Love these! They are cuter in person than the photos.

Pacsafe Retractasafe 250 Cable 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.
