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

Favorite Spots

Countries

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

I think that wherever your journey takes you, there are new gods waiting there, with divine patience -- and laughter.

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.

Sea to Summit Clothes Line

With the beaded cord, you don't need clothespins, but are a bit limited to how many items you can secure. You can almost always find a place to hang this either in your room our outside. Stores so compact!

Samsonite Underseat Carry-On Spinner In Colors

I basically own this same spinner bag in a two-wheel version and it's amazing! You'll love having an under-seater. This will fit as a personal item on most airlines. These low profile spinner wheels take up less space than others, leaving more room to pack everything you need.

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.
