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!


You cannot travel within and stand still without.

Reef Water Vista Sandals

Reef Water Vista Sandals

As soon as I tried these on I was in love with them! They are cuter than a rugged sandal, but you can still tromp through rivers in them.

Arctic Cool  Instant Cooling Towel

Arctic Cool Instant Cooling Towel

I have to admit that I've used this quite a few times in very hot and humid climates and it has helped a lot! The Arctic Cool Instant Cooling Towel truly lives up to its name. Just soak the towel with water, and, instantly, the HydroFreeze X Technology snaps into action. Immediately, you’ll feel the invigorating cooling effect.

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.
