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!

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

HEETA Waterproof Waist Pouch 2-pack

HEETA Waterproof Waist Pouch 2-pack

This dry belt bag fanny pack is to take in the water with you when you're at the beach and want to take your phone and other items with you to be secure an safe when you go in the water. I'm posting this one after extensive research. I have not tried it myself yet. I think these less expensive ones are all the same, triple zip, just rebranded. Check out the more expensive bags too.

LSTRAGY Full Zip Travel Sheet

LSTRAGY Full Zip Travel Sheet

This breathable microfiber travel sheet fits my criteria of having an all-around zipper. I like being able to open it up all the way to make a flat sheet. 37.4" wide.
CON: Weighs in at a non-impressive 18 oz. The pillow pocket is in front.
PRO: Zips from both ends, allowing you to stick your feet out. Zips from inside or outside of the bag. It's a little wider than some. Comes in a few colors. Very inexpensive travel sheet.

Sawyer Picaridin Insect Repellant

Sawyer Picaridin Insect Repellant

Picaridin claims to be just as effective as DEET without melting your gear. Woohoo!! I don't find it quite as effective, but it's also not as toxic. I like that I can use this on my clothing.

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.
