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!

Traveling is...learning to be comfortable where you are no matter where you are.

Ripskirt Hawaii Length 1

Ripskirt Hawaii Length 1

The lightweight quick-dry fabric is great, and with the velcro closure, you have some leeway in how much ice cream you eat. I don't like that they put the rough side of the velcro facing out so that it might snag my shirt, but all in all, if you can get one on sale, it's an okay travel skirt with a flirty pleat on the back. I like the short skirt, but the long skirt made me sweat a lot. They come in 4 different lengths.

Laite Hebe Medical Compression Socks

Laite Hebe Medical Compression Socks

A little bit lighter of a graduated compression of 15-20 mmHg, these are still good socks to use for travel and long flights. A 3 pack in a huge variety of colors and a really low price. You really can't go wrong!

Arctic Cool Instant Cooling Towel

Arctic Cool Instant Cooling Towel

I have to admit that I've used this quite a few times in very hot and humid climates and it has helped a lot! The Arctic Cool Instant Cooling Towel truly lives up to its name. Just soak the towel with water, and, instantly, the HydroFreeze X Technology snaps into action. Immediately, you’ll feel the invigorating cooling effect.

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!
