The Travel Bug

Besides sharing my journey towards a more sustainable life, I am an avid traveler. I hope to share my experiences, tips on traveling on a budget, tips on traveling to less common destinations, and share my favorite places.

My journey and passion for traveling began during a family holiday to Europe, where we visited previous exchange students, and I had my first taste of what international travel was like. Following that I was granted the privilege to partake in the Rotary Youth Exchange Program during high school, where I studied abroad to Italy for a year. Since then I have had a desire to travel, learn new languages and new cultures. I have continued my travels with a year abroad to Brazil and six months to Spain during my college career; two years serving in the Peace Corps on the small Island nation of the Comoros; and a year to England for my Master’s degree. During this time, I have had the privilege to visit new places both near and far, leading me to have visited around 50 countries to date.

While I have had the luxury to visit all these places, I have also been blessed with the skills to find deals, visit the less known places, and manage to travel within tight financial constraints. This makes me confident that I can help others in reaching their travelling goals, while staying within a budget. As well as being able to share my experiences and share new places with people.
