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!

Like all great travelers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen.

JAICOM Full Zip Travel Sheet

JAICOM Full Zip Travel Sheet

This wicking travel sheet fits my criteria of having an all-around zipper and a back pillow pocket. I like being able to open it up all the way to make a flat sheet. 35.4" wide.
CON: Weighs in at a non-impressive 18 oz.
PRO: Zips from both ends, allowing you to stick your feet out. Zips from inside or outside of the bag. Has a back pillow pocket. Comes in a many colors. Inexpensive travel sheet.

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.

JetBo 100% Cashmere Travel Blanket Set

JetBo 100% Cashmere Travel Blanket Set

This is very pricey and yes, I do own it and use it all the time. It's warm, packs 'relatively' small, and doesn't wrinkle. But for the price and being 100% cashmere, it's not very soft. I do use the pillow case to put my inflatable neck pillow in it when sleeping in airports, otherwise I might suggest their blanket-only version. Overall it's a very nice gift for yourself or someone you love.

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.
