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!

JAICOM Full Zip Travel Sheet

JAICOM Full Zip Travel Sheet

This wicking travel sheet fits my criteria of having an all-around zipper and a back pillow pocket. I like being able to open it up all the way to make a flat sheet. 35.4" wide.
CON: Weighs in at a non-impressive 18 oz.
PRO: Zips from both ends, allowing you to stick your feet out. Zips from inside or outside of the bag. Has a back pillow pocket. Comes in a many colors. Inexpensive travel sheet.

Pacsafe Retractasafe 250 Cable Lock

This comes in handy from time to time. Sometimes you need to supply your own lock at a hostel or you want to lock your bag to a pole while sleeping on an overnight train, at an airport, or leaving your luggage at a hotel for a few days.

Scunci No-Slip Jaw Clips No-Slip Jaw Clipshairclips

I can't tell you how many times I have either dropped or leaned on or smushed hair clips and broken off the tines. These are fantastic! They are designed so they don't have tines sticking out, they're sturdy, and even have rubber pieces inside to really make sure they stay put. I love these!

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.
