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!

Countries

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

Nothing unexpected or wonderful is likely to happen if you have an itinerary in Paris filled with the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower.

Arctic Cool HydroFreeze Women's UPF 50+ Shirt

Lightweight, breathable, moisture wicking, and quick drying. HydroFreeze fabric cools your body through controlled evaporation. This shirt really does do well in hot environments!

GEAR AID HEROCLIP 360° Swivel Carabiner Gear Clip And Hook

Carabiner reinvented! This thing is really cool! In short, you can leave it on your bag and hang it just about anywhere. You can hang your purse on the edge of a restaurant table, hang your backpack on a toilet stall door, or hang your lantern on a tree branch. The hook twists and turns into and S-hook sort of thing but better! Comes in different sizes and colors. I got the small.

Sea to Summit Trek and Travel Laundry Wash

Sea to Summit Trek and Travel Laundry Wash

This stuff is concentrated and biodegradable laundry detergent! Budget travelers know we (almost all) do our laundry in the hotel sink. Having some of this along makes it easier, plus since it's biodegradable, you have the option to wash in a stream or where you might not want your soap running into nature.

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.
