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!


Getting Started

Where to go, how to save, first steps to begin budget traveling.

Travel Tips

Packing, basic do's and don'ts, ways to not waste money.

Favorite Spots

Looking for destination ideas? Here are a few goodies.

Countries

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

It is almost axiomatic that the worst trains take you through magical places.

humangear GoToob+ The Best No-Leak Travel Containers

Looking for a travel bottle container that doesn't leak? Look no further! They come 3 sizes 1.7 oz, 2.4 oz, and 3.4 oz (100 ml) to accommodate whatever you need to pack and the fun colors don't hurt either.

Collapsible Pour Over Coffee Dripper

Collapsible Pour Over Coffee Dripper

Die hard coffee drinker? This might be your never-leave-home-without-it travel item. Not the prettiest thing in the world, but it collapses flat! All you need is a filter (get a reusable one?), your favorite local grounds, and some hot H20, ... okay and a cup (see my packable flat cups!). Some gals in my travel group can't say enough about this.

Tumi Luggage Lock

Tumi Luggage Lock

Because of the price I'm almost putting these on here as a joke, but they really are the perfect lock. Why did everyone stop making these? You only want clip locks just like this, trust me! You can keep them clipped on your luggage even when they're unlocked. You don't set them down while you're getting into your bag, you can leave them on as a deterrent, great for your daypack, etc.

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.
