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!

Once you have traveled, the voyage never ends, but is played out over and over again in the quietest chambers. The mind can never break off from the journey.

Some of My Favorite Travel Gear

Lewis N. Clark Original Neckrest Inflatable Pillow

Lewis N. Clark Original Neckrest Inflatable Pillow

No need to have a big pillow hanging off your luggage! This has been my favorite pillow for many years. It folds down to nothing, is pretty sturdy (I have only gone through 2 or 3 of them in 18 years) and I like the shape the best of all the pillows I've tried. I like to use it sideways or backward. It's a single piece with heat-sealed seams.

Cressi Tonga Snorkel Fins

Cressi Tonga Snorkel Fins

These will JUST fit in a carry-on suitcase. Lightweight and from quality brand Cressi, you can bring fins without taking up all the space in your luggage! I just used them and they were great snorkeling in a current.

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!

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.
