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!

With age, comes wisdom. With travel, comes understanding.

Black Diamond Cosmo Headlamp

Black Diamond Cosmo Headlamp

You want some sort of flashlight for sure since you might be somewhere without electricity, or on a night hike. I don't necessarily wear this on my head, but it's nice to have the option. I like having a red light to keep your night vision. The buttons are really difficult to remember how to work them though.

Sea to Summit Aeros Ultralight Traveller Inflatable Neck Pillow

Sea to Summit Aeros Ultralight Traveller Inflatable Neck Pillow

This pillow packs down to almost nothing (2 x 2.75 inches) and weighs just 2.4 ounces! It blows up on only 3 breaths, and has a good design as far as being slim in the back and it snaps together in the front. Unfortunately, it doesn't last as long as it should for the price, but I still love it! (and the Eagle Creek pillow ) It's a single piece with glued seams.

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.
