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!


. . .the grand tour is just the inspired man's way of heading home.

Some of My Favorite Travel Gear

See All
SipWell  Reusable Straw

SipWell Reusable Straw

I used this all the time in SE Asia. A few shop owners even asked me where I got it.

32 Degrees Cool T-shirt

32 Degrees Cool T-shirt

You can get a 2-pack of these at Costco for $16! They're not quite cooling as the Columbia shirts, but for the price they are fitted and cute and have done well in the heat keeping me dry and smell-free. They are light and thin but not too thin, dry fast and are great for an inexpensive travel tee.

BELTAWAY  Flat Women's Belt

BELTAWAY Flat Women's Belt

Great stretchy adjustable flat buckle belt! More form over fashion but it packs small and doesn't bulge or put holes in your shirts. I love this belt! I've had mine for over 7 years now and it's still in great shape. Note they sell different widths depending on your belt loop size.
