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 traveler sees what he sees, the tourist sees what he has come to see.

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.

WETCAT Turkish Towel

WETCAT Turkish Towel

Absorbent, soft, easy to pack, and comes in nice colors. ;) They're large, too, unlike some expensive high-tech travel towels. Great for the beach!

Quip Sonic Toothbrush

Quip Sonic Toothbrush

I've researched the heck out of these and I like this one the best. It's small and has good reviews and features. Philips One is okay, and Suri just does not fit the bill for budget travel for various reasons. There is a rechargeable version of this, but you have to carry a proprietary cord, so with this 3-month battery life, it's not worth it in my opinion. This is the one. :)

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.
