exploring the world on a budget
Here’s the thing, if you know me at all you’d know that I love driving. I got my G1 (learner’s permit in Canada) on my 16th birthday and have been driving ever since pretty flawlessly. With no accidents on my record for a solid 8 years, I was confident in my ability to ride a [...]
October is here and Halloween is near, so it only seems fitting to share my worst hostel experiences. Now don’t get me wrong, I love hostels. It’s so easy to meet new people, while also saving money on expensive accommodation by staying in dorm rooms. BUT … when you’re sharing a room with anywhere between [...]
Whether you’re a fan of flying or it’s one of your biggest fears, if you’re an avid flyer like myself you’re sure to have encountered a few bad flights. As a budget traveller, I can’t be picky when it comes to choosing specific airlines. This means I usually end up on some pretty dodgy flights [...]
Travel is a beautiful thing. It teaches you so many life skills that you could never be taught in school. It’s allowed me to have some of the most spectacular experiences some people could only ever dream of having.

So you’re a student and you say you want to travel. But how badly do you really want to? As a student, the possibility of travel may seem quite far fetched to say the least. I definitely understand the struggle of wanting to explore the world but not exactly having the funds to do so. [...]
You may have heard that New Zealand is notorious for how expensive it can be – especially when it comes to travel. It’s not exactly the most backpacker friendly destination, which can be difficult if you’re on a budget. After spending five weeks backpacking through the country, I’ve broken down the costs and worked out [...]
For some, budget backpacking is a challenge. For me, it's simply a way of life! I travelled alone for the first time in 2016 while finishing my undergrad degree. Since then I've lived abroad and travelled to many other places on my own, so I think I've learned a thing or two about cheap travel. [...]
Travelling regularly may often seem like a far fetched dream to most people because they assume that travel is expensive. While it can be, there are many ways that you can travel cheap, so long as you are flexible with travel dates, locations & most importantly how luxuriously you travel. If you want to travel [...]
