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!

Traveling is...learning that there's a different way to do things.

Life360 Tile Bluetooth Tracker 4 Pack

Life360 Tile Bluetooth Tracker 4 Pack

Hopefully you never need these, but I usually throw one into my purse, in my luggage, on my keys, etc. Bluetooth tracking just in case your item gets stolen or your luggage gets lost by the airline. iOS and Android.

Mepsies USB Adapter Set 4-pack

Mepsies USB Adapter Set 4-pack

Not necessarily one of the top brands, but this gives you everything you should need and it uses USB 3.0, not 2.0 like a lot of adapters. Especially if you have an older flashlight or mouse that needs a micro USB. Get this set in particular if you have an older micro USB cable as it has a micro female adapter. USB A, USB C, and micro adapters to give you multiple combos.

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.
