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.

Countries

Details by country. Only the places I've been to so far though!

I think that wherever your journey takes you, there are new gods waiting there, with divine patience -- and laughter.

Travelon Braided Clothesline

Travelon Braided Clothesline

With the braided laundry line, you don't need clothespins. You just stuff a corner of your garment in the braid. I don't use the suction cups (just leave those at home). You can almost always find a place to hang this either in your room our outside. I just loop the hook back onto the clothesline to attach it to something.

Ripskirt Hawaii Length 2

Ripskirt Hawaii Length 2

The lightweight quick-dry fabric is great, and with the velcro closure, you have some leeway in how much ice cream you eat. I don't like that they put the rough side of the velcro facing out so that it might snag my shirt, but all in all, if you can get one on sale, it's an okay travel skirt with a flirty pleat on the back. I like the short skirt, but the long skirt made me sweat a lot. They come in 4 different lengths.

Coffee Filter #4 Mesh Reusable

Coffee Filter #4 Mesh Reusable

I have searched high and low for a filter that will work well in the collapsible coffee maker I have linked on my site. I think this one will do it! The cloth ones take too long to dry, and others are too small or have pointed bottoms.

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.
