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 about changing your mind set....most of all, it means being Free.

Blue Lizard Sheer Face Lotion SPF 50+ Reef Safe Sunscreen

Blue Lizard Sheer Face Lotion SPF 50+ Reef Safe Sunscreen

Like the body sunscreen, this is a good 80 minute sport sunscreen, and free of Oxybenzone and Octinoxate so it's reef safe. It also has a blend of hydrating hyaluronic acid, shea butter, antioxidants, and vitamin E to lock in moisture! Throw one of these small tubes in your bag to keep good face sunscreen on hand since it comes in a small 1.7 oz tube.

Cocoon Silk/Cotton Coupler BEST Travel Sheet

Cocoon Silk/Cotton Coupler BEST Travel Sheet

This is my favorite brand of travel sheet. You get what you pay for and this is quality. The luxurious-feeling silk/cotton coupler travel sheet fits my criteria of having an all-around double-sided zipper. I like being able to open it up all the way to make a flat sheet, and also if you're traveling w/ your mate, you can zip two sheets together. 6" x 3" packing size, and weighs 10.3 oz.

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.
