If you budget wisely, your travel funds can go a long way, though not as far as you.
How to Get to Disneyland Paris On a Budget ☄️
Let's face it, we all want to go to Disneyland. It is, after all, the most magical place on earth. Sometimes those wonderful adverts pop up on TV, and we have a quick peek on the website to see how much it would be... and suddenly that little happy impulse comes to a very quick stop.

Travelling to Prague on a (Student) Budget
In September 2017, I travelled to Prague, Czech Republic for two weeks. I was specifically going for a course for university, but I still was privy to all the sights and sounds of Prague. I was lucky that included in the cost of admission to this program was my room and lunch every day, but I had to pay for everything else. Prague isn't an expensive city per se, but it definitely helps to know some tips and tricks to travel that only a (broke) student would know. With the cost of the program and my flight, along with all the other sightseeing and food things I did in Prague, I spent a total of $3027 Canadian. Not bad for a full two weeks in the city!

Driving Cross Country for Dummies
Driving across the country seems scary, seems like a massive, and impossible trip. However when I was 19 years old, I took on this so called crazy drive, in the middle of winter, in a punch buggy, with just my dog and not to brag but we survived!

What Crisis Can Teach Us
The scenario played itself over and over in my mind. Checking my bank account, realizing it was at zero, struggling to breathe through the ensuing panic. My dramatic brain ran off with more dramatic scenarios: going hungry, wandering the streets alone, looking for a piece of cardboard and a street corner...

Why Traveling Is Important for Both the Body and the Soul
Even at the young age of 19, I now find myself as what many would describe as a seasoned traveler. I have been to 15 countries, three continents, and most of the 50 states, and I plan to at least step foot in all of the places I have yet to go. Though I have been blessed with a family who has the means to aid in my journeys, I now find myself alone in the adult world, a college student trying to find who he is, with a tiny apartment, a part-time job, and a mind full of dreams. I make roughly 600 a month, not much to live on at all, but yet I still hear the call of adventure at my doorstep, and I still plan to swing the door open.

Day at Old Sturbridge Village
I have not been to Old Sturbridge Village in Sturbridge, MA since I was six or seven, which is going on 15 or 16 years ago. Today, it was open for free as part of the state’s “Free Fridays” program, so my mom and I went there to meet Ruth, an old friend of her’s. The drive from Gloucester was about an hour and 40 minutes.

Why Travel Is For Everyone: Anyone Can Travel
In my last article, I touched on how many people seem to think travel is a difficult thing to do, or something you can only do if you have a lot of money. So, I decided I am gonna address this in an entirely separate article.

Luxury Within Reach
I get asked all the time how I am able to travel as much as I do. By the end of 2017, it will have seen me in Thailand, Washington DC, Atlanta, and Curacao, and possibly one other destination with all the travel reward points I have earned with these trips. Each time the question is asked of me, I answer it the same way. I am very list- and research-orientated and work with a travel agency that understands that and can transform my travel goals into a fun-filled affordable vacation.

Senior Single Female Alone in Iceland
My solo travels have mostly taken me throughout North America; but this last trip stretched my independence and my endurance. I was originally intrigued when several months ago I saw an online mention of airfare to Reykjavik from Los Angeles for $200. Wow, I cannot fly anywhere in the US for that price, so I made a mental note. Of course, by the time I had decided that I would venture to Iceland, the price had doubled; but it was still an unbelievable deal. I booked one week in Iceland at the Radisson Blu Saga Hotel including airfare for $1500.
