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!


A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.

Osprey Farpoint 55L Men's Backpack

Osprey Farpoint 55L Men's Backpack

Although I'm really a diehard Eagle Creek girl, this pack is considered the best of the bunch right now. It's a good size, has good features (including zip-away straps), and Osprey has excellent customer service. The 55 liter includes a daypack that zips and/or clips to the main bag.

Sonicare Philips One Rechargeable Toothbrush

Sonicare Philips One Rechargeable Toothbrush

I've researched the heck out of these and this is my 2nd place (1st is Quip ). It's small and has decent reviews and features. The battery version lasts 3 months on a charge so you might not want to both with carrying the proprietary cord.

SipWell Reusable Straw

I used this all the time in SE Asia. A few shop owners even asked me where I got it.
